Luftwaffe Officer’s Tunic – Major (Flieger/Fallschirmjäger Branch)

A fine privately tailored Luftwaffe officer’s tunic (Dienstbluse) in blue-grey wool, worn by a Major of the flying personnel or Fallschirmjäger branch, as indicated by the gold-yellow (gelb) waffenfarbe.

This tunic features hand-embroidered silver bullion Luftwaffe breast eagle, Major’s collar tabs with silver wreath embroidery, and officer’s shoulder boards with silver braid over yellow underlay. The chest retains original medal loops for award display, showing clear evidence of actual field or service wear. The interior has a light brown silk-like lining typical of private-purchase officer uniforms.

A very attractive and well-preserved example with excellent insignia and genuine period character.
