Luftwaffe Luftwaffe Signals Corps

[Snoopy]

Hi again

I have a question. Was the piped trade badges, like the badge in the picture above, used only by NCO's?

Hi Snoopy,

The trade badges were used, per my references, NCOs and lower ranks.

Here is the latest addition to the Signals thread. A single Hermann Goring Division Jan-Mar1943 collar tab for signals.

[Bob Lyons]

A Signals Major's 4 pocket tunic, this one belongs to Mr. Mike Swan, and is a fantastic example of an

officer's 4 pocket tunic....

A couple more photos from Mike, he took these shots of a tunic that is with a local militaria dealer,

who will be selling this one soon, it is a fliegerbluse, which has had the breast eagle and collar tabs

replaced, but a lovely set of sewn in boards with chain stitched 'OL' devices....

[Bob Lyons]

and another view of one of the straps from the fliegerbluse...

Interesting tress on the shoulder straps. I have never seen that type before! Great tunics Bob! Tell Mike I said Thank you for the images.

Here is my signal FB. Nothing special but all factory original and mint. I almost aquired a OKL, FB from Bill Shea a few years back. Bummer, I sat on it too long and missed out.

That is another beautiful signals example. It has the later waffenfarbe configuration. What is the LBA date on the tunic?

Hi Paul again,

The LBA date on my signal is "43". The material is better on this tunic than on my medic tunic which is dated "LBA42".

Great looking fliegerbluse Steve.

That makes two of us!

[Bob Lyons]

Thanks for the compliment Steve and Paul, actually I have just added a very nice black piped visor cap

to the collection, but as I have just started my night shifts, I can't post photos until I get home in the

morning, and if I don't go straight to bed, I will post a few pix here and see what you guys think of this

one, I am over the moon with it, don't see too many black piped Luftwaffe caps around these days.
