Paul R Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Just in today!! A field grade ranking tunic for a Luftwaffe Signals Official! This is the first such tunic I have ever seen. This particular tunic is a private purchase piece(as are all of the Officer Level Officials tunics I have ever handled). The upper pocket flaps are sewn down at the corners. From everything that I have read, these men worked in Research and Development for "state of the art" transmission equipment, as well as other very specialized roles. Some examples could be developing, perfecting, and operation of navigation systems on remote controlled weapons, radar, codes, and etc. If anyone has any thing to add, I would be most appreciative!! I look forward to reading your comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 Thanks for the reply, John. The top photo most accurately captures the nebenfarbe. It is most definitely golden brown, the second signals waffenfarbe. The man who originally wore this jacket must have been very small in stature. I doubt he was much taller than five feet, if even that!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Thanks for the kind words. The cap did not come with this tunic, however. I do will need to get a visor someday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
