Luftwaffe Dress Gloves for LW Officers & NCOs

[Scott]

I've this early LW NCO four-pocket tunic that I'd like to find an original pair of dress gloves for. I know they came in white and grey (I'd prefer the grey), but what separates original period gloves from post-war types? (materials, construction, markings, etc?). I'd love to see some original examples with opinions on what to look for.

Thanks!

Hi Scott,

Here is the original pair that I have. Blue suede (sp?) leather gloves with LBA markings.

Best regards,

Albert

[Scott]

Hi John! The fabric gloves I posted above aren't mine - I found them on an internet search...

Here are mine of exactly same type; probably same maker. Sure are originals but LW?

That last set seems to have a greenish hue. Could they be police?

That's a nice pair of gloves Albert! Very similar to what I posted. Are they marked on the inside? My concern with the pair I posted above is the type face of the maker's stamp; I think it's Helvetica or Aerial font, which didn't exist in WWII...

Hi Scott,

Mine do not have this marking. They are only marked 11; I guess that's the size.

BR,

Thanks Albert!

Mine..also Lico marked

[Scott]

Hello Hairoil. Thanks for posting your gloves here . Does the LICO mark in your gloves match exactly the gloves I posted above? Are there any markings on the snaps of your gloves.

Thanks again.

Scott
