Late War Luftwaffe Cotton M43 Field Blouse
Late War Luftwaffe Cotton M43 Field Blouse (Feldbluse). The fieldgrey construction cotton field blouse has four pockets with straight flaps and field-grey/blue finished, pebbled metal buttons. There is a six-button front closure using the same type of buttons. There is a lay flat collar with a metal hook and loop neck closure. The buttons and loops for slip-on shoulde-straps are missing. A breast-eagle has been removed from the field blouse. The interior is unlined, with fieldgrey cotton used for reinforcements at the seams and the small bandage pocket on the lower right. The field blouse is nicely RB.Nr. and size marked (chest size 95cms) and is dated 1944. The field blouse is showing some staining and some damages caused by usage, see photos. Otherwise the field blouse is in very good condition. This is only the second cotton Luftwaffe field blouse I've ever had on offer. This would make a great restoration project for a late war Luftwaffe Field Division set-up. Rare original late war Luftwaffe field blouse!
