Title Luftwaffe quilted winter waistcoat
Nationality German
Period c 1944
Sold

Size 46, LFBA marked (Luftwaffe Feld Bekleidungs Amt). This was a warm winter body vest for Luftwaffe crews, principally ground crews, I suspect, as air crew would have had their leather, fleece lined, zip up suits for winter flying.

Clean example, which shows some signs of field use, but is generally in excellent condition, complete with wooden buttons with their original cotton stitching.

testimonials

The 3 medals have just arrived safely - very interesting. (From your description I was expecting ribbon to be dreadful; personally, I think that the "Russian Front" is beautifully 'aged'.)

...the sword arrived safely today... My son, who shares my interest in antique edged weapons and for whom I bought the sword, is delighted.
