Luftwaffe Flakartillerie Obergefreiter 4-Taschenrock – L.B.A. (S) 39
Category:
A very attractive early Luftwaffe Flakartillerie 4-Taschenrock, issued to an Obergefreiter and dating from 1939.
The tunic is manufactured from high-quality Luftwaffe blue-grey wool and features the classic early four-pocket construction with pleated breast and lower pockets. It retains its complete period insignia, including the embroidered Luftwaffe breast eagle, bright red Flakartillerie collar tabs with three gulls denoting the rank of Obergefreiter, and shoulder straps piped in the red Waffenfarbe of the Flakartillerie.
The left upper sleeve carries the matching Obergefreiter rank chevron, while the lower sleeve displays the desirable Flakartillerie Tätigkeitsabzeichen (Flak Artillery specialty badge).
The interior is fully lined and retains a clearly visible “L.B.A. (S) 39” acceptance/depot marking, dating the tunic to 1939.
All insignia show an attractive and consistent age and appearance with the tunic. The wool remains in very nice condition, with only normal minor traces of age and wear. The lining is likewise well preserved and the tunic retains its characteristic early Luftwaffe quality and construction.
A particularly attractive and nicely configured pre-war Luftwaffe Flakartillerie 4-Taschenrock, complete with matching Obergefreiter rank insignia and the additional Flakartillerie specialty badge.
