This grouping was originally part of a large group of items from Heimsch, sold by Hermann Historica.
Heimsch served with 10 (F)LG 2 at Fliegerhorst Kiel-Holtenau - a unit that flew DO 18s (flying boats) before the war. He earned among other awards the EK2, EK1 and the transport clasp in gold.
Tunic is a wonderful, high quality tailor made example. It is free of mothing but shows overall service wear and some dirt, especially in the neck area. Most likely, this was his everyday tunic.
The bullion breast eagle has some oxidation, but otherwise ..

Extremely rare example of the 1st model 'Splitterschutzbrille' by N&G.
Both frame, hinges, lenses and side arms remain fully intact and in very nice condition.
One side arm is marked 'Nigura' (Nitsche and Gunther, Rathenow) and the other has the size marking '3'.
The goggles reportedly came out of an estate from a pilot and German Cross in Gold winner of KG76 (name known), but I do not have written evidence of this unfortunately.

This particular example is all intact and in very fine shape with most of the original finish remaining, and just the right amount of patina!
The case is just a repro and not included.

The cap comes from the estate of Feldwebel Dietrich Dankers of Kampfgeschwader 30. He was awarded the Iron Cross 1st and 2nd class, Air Gunner Badge and Bomber Clasp in bronze.
The cap is a very nice early war double Erel from the distributor 'Friedrich Buchholz' in Stade. It has overall honest wear but no mothing and displays very nicely.
It's rare to see a cap for EM/NCO rank in this quality.
Item no. 1232 | |
Very nice and complete so-called 'heated' flight jacket with all the wiring and plugs being intact.
All zippers and snaps are the original ones and fully working, and the zippers still have their original leather pullers. Sleeve zippers are the typical 'ZIPP'/'DRP'marked ones, and the front is the less commonly seen 'RHEINNADEL' brand.
Inside, the 'Karl Heisler' makers label is still in place.
Jacket shows light wear and soiling, but overall a very nice example in great shape.

Cap is a size 56½ (stamped under the sweat band) and although no date stamp is to be found, it looks like a 42-43 production.
It has the original eagle and wreath applied with a few large stitches as is usual on these caps. No signs of previous insignia.
Cap shows honest wear and the visor is starting to come loose in one side. Also it could do with a bit of reshaping. But apart from this, it is free of mothing and other visible damage, and could easily be improved with a bit of TLC.

These boots look like they where never issued, since the soles are mint!
They are of the type normally with heating plugs, but on these they where either removed or never installed.
Also looking at the way the lining ends at the top of the boot shafts, it appears they are very slightly mismatched. All hardware, materials and colors are still fully matching though making for an attractive 99% matching pair.

A fine example of the rare and sought after blue light weight flight jacket - often seen on photos of fighter pilots, but very hard to find today.
It has the original and working front zipper (RAPID) and neck closure strap with a PRYM 6 snap. All hardware is fully functional and free of rust and corrosion.
On the right breast, we find the original factory applied machine sewn EM eagle still in place.

This interesting grouping contains the following items, all from one man:
- Sharp looking tailor made service tunic for an Infantry Major, named and dated inside. Loops for two awards and a long ribbon bar. All insignia originally applied IMO. Minty apart from some staining inside. Nice size.
- Large size framed portrait of the man as a Leutnant.
- 8 photos, both portraits and featuring the man with his troops. Seems to be mostly early and pre-war. We can see he was a WWI veteran.

Here we have a nice larger sized service tunic for an Oberleutnant.
Loops for one badge on the left breast.
Tunic appears to have been tailored for the officer when he was a Leutnant, and the tabs where then replaced upon promotion - they are hand applied and show less wear then the shoulder boards.
Overall tunic is in very good condition, but it does have some fraying at the bottom edge of the sleeves and on one lower pocket (all pictured). Hence the price.
Item no. 1208 | |
Here we have a sharp looking tailor made officer's flight blouse, with IMO original applied insignia.
It has a gorgeous bullion eagle, very neatly applied, and loops for one badge. Inside has a hanger and slit for the officer's dagger, and a nice Darmstadt tailor's label in the neck.
Tunic is overall in excellent to minty condition, save a spot of light surface oxidation on one shoulder strap.
Chest size is 105cm, so should fit most mannequins.
Consignment item.

This wonderful tunic comes with around 50 photos from the original owner, a few of which shows him wearing the tunic.
There is one photo showing him as a boy at an air show, the rest are related to his military career. He was killed in action in Ukraine in 1942 and the lot includes several photos of his grave as well as a death notice. He is also listed in the archives of the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge.

Probably the hardest type of flight pants to find, this example is in sound condition and has all the original zippers in place and running smoothly. No less than three different brands are represented - Rapid, Zipp and Elite.
All the original snaps and buttons are there too, although one of the front glass buttons have broken. Snaps are the usual PRYM 6 snaps.
Pockets have all flaps, straps, and rings in place, but the small leather parts inside the pockets as well as the leather zipper pullers have become dry and stiff. It might be possible to tre..

This is the typical tunic of a young flight officer.
Tunic is made of high quality officer's cloth, and in minty condition save a couple of tiny moth nips and some tracking on the back of one sleeve cuff.
There are loops for a clasp or ribbon bar, and traces of another two sets of loops.
Inside features a waist belt and a slit for the dagger.
Very nice and displayable tunic.

Here we have a typical NCO's tailor made service tunic in officer's quality.
This one is for the not so often seen rank of Spiess.
Tunic is overall in good condition, but it does have a bit of mothing, mostly on one of the cuffs, but there is also one small hole on one lapel, and another near the waist. These are mended and not very noticable really.
On the right breast is a nice hand applied officer's eagle.
The collar tabs are also hand applied and show signs of at least one promotion. So does the shoulder boards. Under one board we f..

Very nice J2 with the name 'Kurt Müller' lightly scratched on one side of the back of the wreath. On the opposite side is an even lighter scratching which reads 'Besswitz' and some more which I can't read. It might be possible to do some further research on this.
Badge is in very nice condition with most of the frosting remaining.
It comes with an expertise from Militaria-Berlin stating a value of 945 euro.
Case is a repro and only used as background.

This completely untouched set of field uniforms, came directly from the relatives in Austria. The original owner was reportedly KIA in 1944 and the uniforms sent back to the family. Please contact me for further details.
The set consists of:
- M36 issued field tunic upgraded to officer and slightly retailored to get a shorter waist section as was fashion at the time. Loops for one badge and signs of another badge and a ribbon bar having been pinned directly to the tunics. All insignia 100% originally applied including the Ostmedal and EK2 ribbons. Item no. 1178 | |
This interesting tunic is an issued EM/NCO service tunic upgraded to officer with the addition of slit and hanger for a dagger, and an internal belt of the type often seen in tailored tunics.
The rank is the equivalent of an Oberleutnant, and although Obersekretär is the most likely title, the red secondary color was used by several speciality brances.
The twist cord of aluminum and dark green around the collar patches, signifies an offical of the medium career. This makes it a fairly rare tunic, since this career consisted mostly of NCO's and Obers..
Item no. 1181 | |
Very elegant looking piped service tunic, from the prestigious Berlin tailor 'Averbeck & Bröskamp'.
Tunic has a nice bullion eagle, loops for 3 badges and a ribbon for the 'Winterschlacht im Osten 1941-42' medal. The white collar patches show some discoloration along the top edge, where they would rub against the neck. All insignia match the tunic in wear, and definitely look original applied.
Inside there is a slit for the dagger hanger, and a label dated 1938 with a name which I believe is 'Hübner'.
Tunic shows lots of wear and quite a bit..

Here we have a very nice and complete flight jacket.
All wiring and plugs are intact. Internal tightening band around the waist still in place. All zippers and snaps are the original ones and fully working, and the zippers still have their original leather pullers. Snaps are by 'STOCKO', zippers by 'RAPID'.
Original makers label still there, but hardly readable anymore.

Great looking officer's flight blouse for a Flak Leutnant. These are actually hard to find with Flak insignia, since many where converted into Flight branch by collectors.
It's a textbook example in both cut, type of cloth and insignia.
The right breast features a stunningly detailed early droop tail bullion eagle. On the left side of the breast we find three sets of loops for badges.
Tunic is very clean and in excellent condition inside and out. No mothing or damage anywhere.
Consignment piece.

This sharp looking piece is a text book example of an early Luftwaffe officer's service tunic.
It's tailored from very fine officer's cloth which retains a vibrant deep blue-gray color. Along with the equally vibrant golden-yellow tabs and boards, it's quite an impressive display piece.
Apart from some wear around the collar, tunic is overall in very good condition, however it has suffered some moth bites, mostly around the shoulders on the back.
On the left breast, there are loops for a clasp, or more likely, a long ribbon bar, as well as two..

This cap has a 1943 date on the sweatband, and it's a textbook mid-war EREL. Dark brown sweatband, ''ghost'' print under the sweat shield, slightly subdued piping and an eagle with some extra backing cloth around the beak area are all typical features matching the date.
Despite being in almost mint condition, the cap has a great crushed shape with high swept back peak, since the internal stiffener around the crown has been removed. Looks fantastic on display!

Here's a great looking tunic with a history!
It is named to Fritz Lonzius (born 10.08.1911 in Magdeburg), who was a pilot and Group Leader in JG 300 and credited with one arial victory. He is mentioned a few times in the JG 300 Chronicles by Lorant/Goyat. Apparently he became heavily addicted to Pervitin (Methamphetamine) in the last days of the war.
Tunic has loops for a ribbon bar, a flight clasp and 3 awards.
On the lower back and on the back of one sleeve there are some clean cuts
which have been very neatly repaired probably by a tailor..

Tunic is very clean inside and out, and near mint save for a few moth nips on the tabs and a small moth hole at the elbow of the right sleeve.
Item no. 1122 | |
Here we have a great looking mid- to late war tunic with the fairly rare bright green branch color of the Panzergrenadiers.
Tunic features subdued insignia for a Hauptmann of Pz.Gr.Rgt 2. The rank pips indicate at least one promotion.

The shoulder boards and collar tabs are minty like the tunic and tightly machine sewn.
On the right sleeve is a very neatly hand applied officer's version of the 'Geswchader Hindenburg' cufftitle - qualitywise it's one of the finest examples of a LW officer's cufftitl..

These alu J2 badges are really hard to find, and when they do pop up, they
usually have one or more repairs. This one has a repaired catch but is otherwise minty and very detailed. Often the rivets are visible on the front of the wings, but this it not the case here.
Very displayable.
The case is just a repro used as backround, and not included.

Nicely preserved aluminum buckle marked 'GB' for Gustav Brehmer.

Here we have an attractive looking example of the rarely offered two piece mediterranen summer flight suit.
Both jacket and pants are in good overall condition.
The breast eagle is a nice original EM version, but has been replaced at some point.
Front zipper possibly replaced but IMO a period job. It is an early 'ZIPP' zipper with a larger head mounted on top of the small head, likely because the latter proved too hard to grab with gloves on. It has a small mending at the bottom edge, but still works.
All snaps are by 'PRYM'. One snap i..

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.
Item no. 1132 | |
Here we have a well used example of the rare late war leather flight jacket.
This one has been stripped of the wiring, breast eagle and most of the lining. The right breast still shows the outline of the eagle.
The original lining and windstopper in the sleeves is preserved and it retains all the original buttons and plastic RiRi zippers!
The leather shows overall wear but remains in good condition.
This jacket does have some issues, but it is priced accordingly, and despite everything, it still looks great on display!
Item no. 1124 | |
Here we have a wonderful, well worn flight blouse for a full Oberst!
It is made of high quality, very smooth cloth.
The right side of the breast features a bullion officer's eagle showing a little oxidation.
The blouse shows overall wear, inside and outside. The insignia has matching wear, although the collar patches show less wear than the eagle and shoulder boards. This makes sense, since the collar patches were applied upon promotion to Oberst, while the shoulder boards were just upgraded with pips since the rank of Major.

This is the visor cap of Uffz. Heinrich Schnuer of 1/KG 2.
It has a great looking swept back crusher shape!
Unfortunately it has not been stored too well and since it is made of the thick felt-like material that moths just love, it comes as no surprise that there are numerous small surface bites all over the crown. Luckily they didn't go for the piping and there are no big holes either. It's not that noticable until you pick it up really.
Along with the cap comes a picture of Schnuer as a Gefreiter wearing what looks like this cap, before he g..
