Glen...a nice Luftwaffe shutzenschnur (shooting lanyard) at a very good price...they were only for enlisted men and NCO'S. Prost ! Steve.

Wow thanks for the information =D and WOW $150 so lets say its about £100, so the mess tunic will only £200 which is stupidly cheap =)
Thanks, Glen.

Hi Glen,

I would avoid purchasing this type of uniform in this configuration. It is essentially a tuxedo jacket for formal wear. Shoulder boards and breast eagle would have been sewn in/on. This configuration was likely improperly restored post war.

Up to you of course as the price is dirt cheap, but that also may be why.

Nothing beats an in-hand inspection either way.
