reinoudmilitary Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 The seller says it's a late war (44-45) Kriegsmarine jacket used by Schnellboote and Uboat personel. I never saw these on wartime pictures before. the buttons are marked with "Overhoff Cie"Anybody has an opinion?
joetauchretter Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 picsHello, Besides collecting German Dr?ger tauchretters I collect books on German U-boats , I now have 953 books printed from 1914 to 2006 ! In all of those books , plus my 40 years of collecting TR militaria I have never seen a picture of a jacket that looks exactly like this . I do not have a good feeling on it . I feel this is some old military jacket with KM buttons on it . The market is even flooded with repro Km gold buttons these days ! At first U-boat crews used captured Britsh battle dress with their own buttons attached then they produced their own version , this looks like neither of the two ! My money is hard earned and if it is not shown in any war time picture I tend to stay away from it . It may be an original military jacket and it may be old but I do not think it is pre May 8th 1945 German Made , in my humble opinion !
