Description
Luftwaffe EM/NCO flight blouse to Knight's Cross recipient Leutnant Karl Spreitzer. Spreitzer was awarded the Knight's Cross on 1.4.1945 serving as a pilot with Flugzeugführer 10.(Pz)/Schlacht-Geschwader 2 "Immelmann". Please see next lot for his visor cap.
The tunic comes with original photographs of Spreitzer wearing exactly (!) that tunic. All photos are postwar taken in my opinion.
 
Extremely nice flight blouse. Certainly not worn a lot. Silk lining. Size stamps and an unreadable unit stamped. The blouse was a little shortened. He added an extra button to the front bottom to close it. The insignia look period time attached. The collar tabs are attached by machine, the hand-stiched breast eagle is attached by hand. 
 
The tunics comes with his original medals. There are many loops for awards and two one small reinforced holes next to the Iron Cross. We don't know what medal or badge this one for but you can see exactly the same holes on one of the photos.
 
- Jäger Squadron Clasp in gold. Zinc. Nice gilding. G.H.OSANG maker marked. Nice condition 2.
- A 5 place ribbon bar
- Iron Cross 1st Class. Unmarked. Magnetic. Good condition.
- Early tombak Luftwaffe Pilots Badge. A beautiful example by Assmann. Maker marked!
- Wound Badge in silver. Unmarked. Tombak. Most probably a Deschler example.
 
The Italian Pilots Badge is missing.
 
The condition of the tunic is 1-2. There only one small moth eaten (no holes) area to the reverse.
Size M.
