I have decided to part with my only Luftwaffe Uniform set, the named tunic and trousers to Generalleutnant Kurt Menzel.The tunic had been stripped post-war save for the collar tabs and cording and has been professionally restored, so if restored items give you heartburn, this is not for you. Tunic is a lager size, about a US 40 Regular. Trousers are also named to Menzel and were sourced from Bill and Patrick Shea at the Ruptured Duck. Tunic does have some mothing as shown, but is in very solid condition. Trousers are very clean with minor mothing. Menzel commanded the Legion Condor Flak Regiment as well as the 7th Flak Division.
I have a LW Erel General's Visor cap that is not part of the Menzel grouping but I would be willing to include it in a package deal. Asking $6500 for the tunic, aiguilette, and trousers, which I feel is a very fair price for a named set, even with the restoration work. Insured shipping in the CONUS will be $30. Overseas at cost.
Lots of additional photos
A mint shape Luftwaffe Generals visor with a complete sweat diamond and double manufacturers markings inside. Sweatband is a bit frail due to age, but complete. Appears to be a size 57 or 58. Nice detail to the hat and no issues, mothing, etc. Has the green visor as the early ones did.
Letting go of one of my HG wraps....early wrap with brushed wool....single early gold pip...sewn in Officer shoulder boards....Unit marked buttons....8. This is a early issue wrap most likely when HG Div was being formed..... One might be surprised but MOST HG Officer wraps have EM breast eagles.....to find one with a bullion eagle would be like finding the holy grail.... Machine sewn Adler....does not go through lining....even though Ive seen them both ways. Wrap has Russian braid to collar with early black / skull tabs....with period red eye's....NOT added later.... Has award loops for what looks like a IC given the position of the loops.... Text book interior lining with size numbers only. Has owners single initial in a large L hand sewn to inner right pocket. Both pockets text book applied with "corner" stitching.....inner button loops....and support tabs with both early aluminum hooks... Heavy stitching to back of collar etc.... ****When wrap is closed under lapel ALL
Gold bullion augillette for a Kriegsmarine Admiral or Luftwaffe General. Has the small metal swiveling attachment that was apparently used on Kriegsmarine cords, but John Angolia's "Uniforms & Traditions of Luftwaffe" sites them as being Luftwaffe also. MINT CONDITION.
I'm selling off my nearly forty year collection pieces of mixed Third Reich Militaria. Some pieces will not be guaranteed because there are simply too many fakes. If they ARE NOT guaranteed it will be stated in the description.
This is the Luftwaffe EM Aluminum Buckle - 14(4).66 1938 Pattern (Luftwaffe Gurtelschnalle fur Mannschaften). This buckle is constructed of aluminum, the obverse bearing a raised Luftwaffe eagle clutching a mobile swastika, situated within an oval laurel leaf wreath, joined by four clips that are all in place. The reverse with two attachment prongs emanating from a functional roller and measures 62 mm (w) by 48 mm (h). Mr. Angolia states that it was normal for these buckles to remain unmarked. This is a very early buckle that is in extremely fine condition and very clean. This buckle is discussed in "Belt, Buckles, & Brocades of the Third Reich - Revised Edition" by LTC J.R. Angolia (1st Edition), page 135.
