POST-WAR 1960'S GERMAN LUFTWAFFE OFFICER TUNIC UNIFORM HAT VISOR 1957 IRON CROSS:
$250.00

Awesome uniform grouping from the very early years of post-war Germany. The Bundesluftwaffe was established in late 1956. 1st Lt. Luftwaffe tunic with bullion embroidered officer cuff titles machine stitched on. Nice early bullion officer wings over breast pocket. Nice original 1957 medal ribbon bar with IC 2nd, War Merit Cross 2nd, Black Wound badge and Russian front medal ribbons. Early barrel cuffs reminiscent of WWII. Silver piped around visor hat, shoulder boards and machine stitched collar tabs. Also comes with a German Cross in Gold 1957 version (copy). The visor hat and tunic are both contract made for the Bundeswehr early 1960's (KKB stands for Kleiderkasse fuer die Bundeswehr, made in Koblenz, Germany). Hat matches perfectly with the tunic, hat size 57 1/2 (about a 7 1/4 US). Pilot likely flew the early F-86 Canadair Sabre and F-4 Phantoms. Maybe flew with the new Richthofen squadron established in 1961.

Approximate tunic size 38/39R. There are no moth holes, no stains, no musty smell, clean and perfect! Hard to beat for being 60 years old! Would make a great post-war Luftwaffe display of a famous fighter pilot that served in the Bundesluftwaffe like Erich Hartmann, Gerhard Barkhorn or Gunther Rall (Germany's top 3 aces with 352, 301 and 275 aerial victories respectively).

Note: Mannequin is not included.
