Peter von Lukacs had some enlisted visor cap chinstraps, maybe drop him an email

Can you show a closeup of the cuffs and underneath both collars? Any evidence of a breast eagle? Any markings? Any evidence of once having collar tabs or if shoulder boards were present? Loops? Buttons? This may look like a Fliegerbluse at first glance but it is missing a lot of characteristics.

Yes, plus it's readily identifiable as HG Division

Just go with white piping on the boards

Nice Fliegerbluse woodeye (Holzauge?). I like the denazified eagle and pilot's badge; is the DRL badge denazified as well?

Look good to me too

Thanks a lot Bob, I appreciate it. HG stuff has always been of interest to me, next to NCO fighter pilot items!

Now for the dilemma...
Obviously a piece like this needs to be displayed. My problem is that I don't know if I should give him:
Pilot badge, or
Pilot / Observer, or
Observer, or
Fallshirmj?ger
Suggestions??
Rich
ps that particular RK is not attributed.
Prewar pilot badge!

I believe the guy is German. He's an officer candidate and wearing what looks like a private purchase leather jacket with the Croatian shield on the wrong sleeve, and no Croatian pilot badge. The shield could have been an honorary award rather than one denoting where he came from.

That Beobachter badge is terrible. Here is a genuine one

I have a yellow piped visor with this same top, vet acquired

I sold mine years ago, and didn't keep photos of it

Detail. Just like everything else there is a certain symmetry to be found in German stuff, even if it looks crappy it could very well be original. This piece is just too sloppy when compared to an original.

Cufftitles Immelmann and Richthofen

The cuff titles you posted are early versions, and I do not have either of these in my collection (I do have the later style of each though). The only cuff title I have like yours, with the same early letters, is a Jagdgeschwader M?lders example.
