Luftwaffe A faded Luft tropical blue tunic

[Bob Lyons]

After much beasting from Paul, I have the time to put a couple of tunics up for show, here is a nice blue tropical tunic, bleached out with a fair amount of wear, and a couple of sets of award loops, EK II ribbon, and white piped shoulder straps, first up is the tunic on a half mannequin.....

And the last pic, showing detail (and fading) under the collar. Interesting that there is a very similar tunic with the same amount of fading in the Schiffer book on the DAK, which is attributed to David Bunch (from memory).

Best wishes
