moszi Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Hi All I would like opinions on this Fliegerbluse, the eagle is rather unusual in designed but the rest seem ok, i hope. cheers Moszi
Jock Auld Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I kind of like the general look of it, I would out of curiosity put a UV light over the piping and collar boards and arm badges. I have seen a lot of these sort unissued and only with the breast eagle applied before (1990s). What do you think about it, are you happy with it?
moszi Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 Dear Jock Thankyou for your reply, good point with the Uv light test and i will keep it in mind. All the best Moszi
Paul R Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 UV Light test is sort of meaningless, as there have been period things that glow. Phosphates have been around for a long time, even before ww2. The only thing that worries me is the the attachment of the collar tabs. I would like to see the front of the collar tabs. Something strikes me as odd about the thread used to attach them to the tunic. It could be OK, but I want to see more images before I am happy with the set. The eagle looks 100% wartime applied.
moszi Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 Dear PaulThanks for your comment, i agree with you that the white thread underside the collar tabs is rather odd, but the top sides are rather tight and even in application.cheers moszi
Jock Auld Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I think in this context it would not be meaningless as I am sure the breast eagle is factory applied and original but if lets say all the other insignia lights up like a disco then it may be safe to assume it is post war applied in this case? It is not infalable but it is a useful tool if you suspect the stiching is dodgy, which we both do? I have one similar deressed as an engineer.
Hoss Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Gents would be nice to see the thread on reverse of the collar holding the tabs. Eric
Hoss Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Thanks Jock I saw it I mean with a uv light sorry. Eric
