My centerpiece item- Hermann Goering Divison M43 tunic

Hello,

Although I signed onto this forum a few years ago, I have not made any posts until today.

Some of you may know me from other forums. I am a collector of Luftwaffe uniforms and insignia. I wish to share with you today a rare Hermann Goering Division M43 tunic. I only know of about four others and they are locked away tight.

This one is a documented example, who's lineage is traceable to when it was brought back from Germany.

I welcome any comments.

 

The tunic was unissued. I added the shoulder straps and medical armband. By the time these tunics made it onto the field, collar tabs were no longer being applied to any LW tunics.

 

Excellent piece, Paul! Thanks for sharing pictures with us.

 

Thanks man! What years were you with the 173rd? My father was in that unit during the Viet Nam War.
