Leather flight jacket to wear with leather flight trousers. This pattern was mainly issued to fighter pilots towards the end of the war and is therefore also known as a "Reichsverteidigung" pattern since air combat mainly happened over German ground at this time.

A winter pattern with could be electrically heated. There are plugs to both sleeves as well as the inside.

Zippers: Both sleeve zippers are fully working. Kunststoff. "Ri-Ri" maker marked. Both are original attached
Buttons: Both sleeve buttons working and "PRYM 6" marked. A working "STOCKO" marked breast pocket button. "PRYM 6" marked buttons (working) underneath the collar.The five front buttons are complete but not all are originally attached.

Collar: Fur in good condition with signs of age. Soft. Some moth damage.
Lining: Blue silk. Some rips. Signs of wear and age.
Insignia: removed breast eagle. Stitching holes visible. Shoulder boards not missing since this jacket was worn without buttons generally.

A fairly nice jacket!
