Luftwaffe 'Hartmann' jacket for a Feldwebel of Flight
Here we have a classic 'Hartmann' jacket with the large pointed collar, high waistline, zippers on the breast pockets and flaps on the hip pockets.
This one has been modified with the addition of a knitted waistline band as seen on the summer flight jackets, making it quite unique. Also a large map pocket has been added inside the left breast area.
The nicely worn cupal breast eagle is pinned through three small loops. Most of the silver finish is gone from the back of the eagle.
Jacket has well worn slip on shoulderboards for a Feldwebel.
The front zipper is by ZIPP (with lightening bolt), the breast zippers have no manufacturer mark. All zippers are fully functional.
At the neck, there's is a typical sewn in name tag, which unfortunately has suffered a horizontal rip that makes it very hard to read.
The jacket shows much wear, especially on the upper back and shoulders, but the overall condition is still good and the leather remains flexible.
'Hartmann' jackets have always been very sought after and at the same time often very hard to authenticate, since it is basically a civilian garment used in a military context.
This one, in my opinion, is the real deal!
