Opinions on this BDM Jacket

**Sir Payne** · 06-08-2012, 04:48 AM

Hello gentlemen, I found this BDM jacket listed on an Italian WWII militaria website. Where does it rate on the condition scale and are the insignia original or reattached? Also, if anybody knows where to find a nicer BDM jacket then please let me know. I want to get the nicest example I can afford. Thank you for your time.

Regards,

Corey

I don't care for the traditionslitze on the triangle personally. Is there a label in the waist area?

I will ask the dealer to send me a photo of the label.

Corey

Are you saying the traditionslitze is not original to the triangle or jacket? Thanks

I don't know from the photos if the triangle is original to the jacket, but I don't like the litzen on the triangle itself. Check this link for photos of good period applied litzen and you will see what I am refering to.

I see what you are referring to. It doesn't seem to show the right age or design. Thanks for you help I really appreciate it. I have no idea what to look for in these. I'll hold back on it for now, maybe wait until I can find a better one.

These jackets turn up regularly so you will find a nice one if patient. It's hard to find these with original insignia, IMO many were stripped of insignia and worn post war.
