GdC26

I have never looked for one but I am sure you can find them - I have seen the summer types before... just be careful whom you buy from...

I agree with luftyguy that this appears to be a a leather flight combi for flight over water, cut down to a jacket. No telling from the pics if the modification is wartime or post war (Germany was in less then great shape after May '45, and quite a few military items were altered for civillian use).

The suits themselves are not too common, but there are not that many collectors looking for them, either. I think RelicHunter (Gerard Stelzelberger) offered a minty example recently for (if memory serves) around US$ 2000. In light of prices paid for similar items on for example German e-bay, I believe that to be at the high end of the scale.

Hope of use,

Sandro
