Description:

Blue/gray wool construction, with silver trim around the collar and shoulder boards. The boards and collar tabs are for a Luftwaffe Feldwebel (Technical/Flight Sergeant), with the yellow Waffenfarbe trim of the Fallschirmjaegers. On the right breast is an embroidered Luftwaffe eagle patch, and on the left are a 1st Class Iron Cross, black Wound Badge, and a C.E. Junker production Paratrooper Qualification Badge. One of the inside pockets is stamped "43 45/100/63 65", and within the internal pockets are an untranslated handwritten note and a sealed pouch, possibly a first aid kit.

Rating Definition:

Very good overall. A few small holes are present on the tabs, with light fraying of the board edges. Some finish has been lost from the Wound Badge, with minor material loss on the eagle and light wear on the Cross and Qualification Badge.
