Description

Extremely rare Luftwaffe tropical field tunic. Before the produced khaki tunics, the tropical tunics the Luftwaffe issued were actually blue. Also, the pith helmets had blue color at the beginning.

This is one of the very few examples around and it comes with a fully originally attached breast eagle and in good condition.

The machine-embroidered EM/NCO eagle was "zick-zack" attached by machine. The flying troops branch boards are slipped on and show some moth damage. There is no moth damage to the tunic itself!

Pictures might mislead. The color of the tunic is a bit more grey than it looks to be from the pictures. 
Two buttons look to have been replaced since they show to much color compared to the other buttons but they are still original of course.

A 1941 dated LBA stamp as well as size markings to the inside. 
An original protection paper added by the factory to one of the belt hook loops.

One pair of loop for one award and another pair for a Squadron Clasp or a ribbon bar. Both period time attached and with signs of wear.

Medium size. A small rip/hole to the version and some signs of wear to the collar.
