Snoopy Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) HelloThis is one of my tunics. It's a fliegerbluse for an obergefreiter of the bautruppen. The waffenfarbe is black. It's in used conditions, but no moth holes. the tunic has a faint manufacturers ink stamp. What I can read is "Dressel". I hope you like it.Snoopy Edited April 11, 2007 by Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I like it a lot!!!! Any chance of some close ups of the tunic and insignia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 Thanks. I will try to take some close ups. I must borrow a camera first. My camera is useless for close ups.Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 No thank you!!! I will eagerly be looking forward to seeing them!Also... you stated that this was "one of my tunics"...Lets see the remainder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) HelloLacking a good camera, I tried to make a close up, from the excisting picture. I don't know how it will turn out. I am no expert on uniforms or insignia, but to me the tunic looks untouched. The collar patches looks smoother in apperance, than the ones made from wool. All insignia is machinestiched onto the tunic. The tunic has some sort of faint unit inkstamp, and an eagle, in the liner.

Snoopy Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) HelloI have a question. Did other Luftwaffe units use black collarpatches? If they did, what was the difference?I hope you like my tunic. This attempt on an close up, was what I could manage right now. I know that the tunic is in well used condition, and a bit dirty, but I like it. I might post a couple more today or tomorrow.

Snoopy Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 (edited) HelloI made an attempt with my camera. The camera is not very good for close ups, so the pictures is a bit blurry. I used a flash in these pictures. I hope you like what you see. Edited April 15, 2007 by Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Hi Snoopy! From what I see, I like! I would like even closer photos yet from these, I cannot find anything wrong. I would have to see many better photos or hold the tunic to be certain.The other personnel who used the Black waffenfarbe were:1. Construction2. Reich Air Ministry3. LW members assigned to Luftschutz units (LS cyphers on the shoulder straps).Great stuff!!! You mentioned other LW tunics? Lets see them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 Thanks Paul I am no expert on insignia, so I guess I am allways a bit worried. Thanks for the info on other units that used black as waffenfarbe. I did not know that Luftwaffe personell was assigned to the Luftschutz. I will try to post one of my other tunics now.Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
