Hi,

this is not Luftwaffe, this is the rank insignia of such a german gala jacket. http://www.fa-bmvg.d...aftsuniform.jpg

The rank is this of the Medical Inspector of the Bundeswehr. http://de.wikipedia....C3%A4tsdienstes

Hi,

"The gala jackets of Heer and LW are the same."

???

ZDv 37/10 Ausgabe 1996/2008/2010

V. Gesellschaftsanzug

261. Grundform

Heer: Jackett, schwarz

Luftwaffe: Jackett, dunkelblau

It is the same for the Smokingjackett.

It seems to me, that we have here a mixture of a Luftwaffen jacket (dark blue) and Heeres shoulder boards (black):

pictures arn't perfect ill try again the jacket is luftwaffe blue the eppaulets are close to black but i would say more of a very dark blue see attached for the colour in hand

Hi Tom,

I can see the clear difference in all your pictures.

I don't have a Luftwaffen gala jacket, therefore I can only compare a Heer gala jacket with a normal Luftwaffen jacket.

The left picture was taken with flash, the right picture is without flashlight:
