werner Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I've seen it's machine sewn insignia but it's really strange to see it on a prewar drill tunic.Anyway, it's a nice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will post a scan of the stitching behind the eagle. The collar liner buttons are the metal dish type and are painted white. The front buttons seem to be a cream colored glass type, similar to those seen on the Fliegerbluses. I will make more images of those as well. I am surprised that there were no LBA stamps though.

Litzmannstadt 1942. Factory applied insignia is correct.Hardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werner Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 (edited) Paul,The stamp is indicating the garment passed through the armed forces clothing depot in Litzmannstadt.It seems they were produced until 1942 or 1943.Ron Edited January 20, 2008 by werner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
