Tunic comes with all the original insignia and also the Luftwaffe pilot badge in its cloth version sewn under the left pocket. The right sleeve has the cufftitle of the "Geschwader Hindenburg" sewn on it and pilot was awarded the Iron Cross 2nd class at least, since tunic has the ribbon of the cross sewn on the first button-hole as German Army Regulations stated. Looking carefully at all the sewn award thread loops on breast pockets and above them, we can figure out that pilot was also an Iron Cross 1st class bearer, as well as many other awards that sadly didn't arrive to us with the lot. Breast eagle insignia is also in great shape and as well as collar tabs and shoulder boards. Jacket has the label of the Tailor where jacket was manufactured. Breeches are in perfect condition. So does the boots, in light brown leather. We must say that the lot comes with the world respected militaria dealer Kai Winkler's expertise with description and originality certificate.
