Luftwaffe Hermann Goering Division M43 Tunic in

[Paul R]

At my wife's beconning, I have significantly thinned out a lot of my collection. I lost money big time, but I was able to do a straight trade to get this M43. I feel that it is the real deal, as it has a few oddities that are in common with the known originals.

Insignia close up... this is the very tunic that was used in Angolia's Reference book. The only bummer is that someone along the way swapped out the shoulder straps.

Now, since it is known that the insignia were not original to this tunic, I decided to have a little fun. Here is a medical set up!

Insignia closeup. I like the look of the Heer M44 straps. I think that there was more than a possiblity that they were used on this uniform

Hey Bob,

This particular tunic came from Bill Shea, although I would not be surprised if this one did not pass through George's hands at some point.

[Bob Lyons]

One thing about buying from Bill, you can sleep well at night with your purchases, yeah I reckon George would have had has hands on it at

some early stage !

It is a stunning and rare tunic mate, you pulled off quite a coup !

Bob

[Paul R]

Thanks Bob!! Coming from you, the compliment really means a lot! It is difficult that find a LW reference that does not have your name in the acknowledgements.

I hope that you have been doing well!

[Bob Lyons]

Thanks mate, still doing shifts, building ships for the Navy!!
