ahrtal Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Another oldie of mine. It was the first model of tropical tunic the Luftwaffe attempted. This one was for a very small individual, couldn't be more than a US 34R. There has been some discussion about the pristine buttons, but they were removable for laundering, and all are the same manufacturer. The boards are not original to the tunic, but would pass, as in the absence of tropical boards for this tunic, continental styles were used. Interesting manufacturer. They are still in business and have a department store in Berlin. I've been there, but it's a post war building of course. Nice contrast in the exposed vs. unexposed fabric, and tailor pattern numbers are still visible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAK D Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Hi @ahrtal, That's a fantastic Luftwaffe blue tropical field blouse made by Peek & Cloppenburg GMBH Berlin. It's a shame the size markings have no date, or depot stamp, but that was very typical for this companies tropical uniform items in late 1940 and early 1941. The cutters numbered markings are often observed in tropical field blouses made by this company. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
