Luftwaffe Grey-White Reversible Winter Parka
Luftwaffe Reversible Winter Parka (Wendejacke). The parka is reversible from grey to white. The winter parka's were a standard issue item and were distributed to all EM/NCO’s for the winter season, (15 September to 15 April), with other winter garments and were to be returned to the units clothing depot in April for storage, repair and cleaning to be reissued the following September. The parka is nicely maker marked and size I marked. The parkas were designed large enough to fit over the standard service uniform and will fit a mannequin easily. The parka is also showing an 'LBA' Luftwaffe acceptance marking and date 1942. The parka is showing clear traces of usage and some staining, see photos. Nice original example in good used and worn condition!
This parka originates from the collection of the recently closed Eyewitness Museum and was in display in the diorama in the last picture!
