Luftwaffe Fallschirmjäger Tropical Combat Trousers ("Ramcke")
Category:
€ 2.150,00
In a very good condition, an original German Luftwaffe Fallschirmjäger tropical combat trousers, commonly referred to by collectors as the "Ramcke" trousers. Constructed from the correct khaki herringbone twill (HBT) fabric, this desirable pattern features the integrated waist adjustment buckle, adjustable ankle straps with steel buckles, a large left thigh map pocket, two rear flap pockets, and the original button fly. All original bakelite buttons are present, including the internal suspender buttons. The interior still retains faint wartime ink size and depot markings.
These tropical trousers were worn by Luftwaffe personnel serving in the Mediterranean and North African theatres, including members of the famous Fallschirmjäger-Brigade Ramcke, from which the well-known collector's nickname is derived.
The trousers remain in very good condition, showing only light signs of age and service wear. The original khaki HBT fabric is clean and well preserved, all original bakelite buttons are intact, and the metal waist and ankle adjustment hardware is complete. The wartime ink markings inside the waistband have faded with age but remain partially visible. A highly desirable and increasingly difficult-to-find original Luftwaffe tropical uniform item, ideal for any advanced Fallschirmjäger or Luftwaffe collection.
