Luftwaffe NCO Pioneer

[jcsanche]

Hello

I am new at this forum. I collect mostly Heer uniforms, especially of the pioneer branch. I had been looking for a nice pioneer flierbluse without success. I was able to get this NCO flierbluse last year. I admit that it is very difficult to evaluate an NCO upgrade. As you all know they detached the collar patches to place the collar thress, so the collar patches are "replaced". The age of the insignia and thress match. The eagle is original to the tunic and it is factory applied. I can not see any evidence of previous eagle. The thress on the collar and sb match. The shpilder boards were sewmn in and match the color of the tunic perfectly. The only thing that I can tell you guys is that I like it. I am still looking for an EM pioneer and medical flierbluse.

Regards

Juan

That is one great FB, Juan. I am a primarily(I do have a collection of Soviet items as well as DDR) a collector of LW tunics and insignia. I prefer the four pocket tunics, but here is mine. I really like the black insignia on a LW uniform.

As you can see, this piece came from the LVA. The LVA was a sort of uniform store where officers could purchase uniform items. The cost was much lower than having one tailor made.
