Luftwaffe FLAK Obergefreiter's Flight Blouse

Luftwaffe FLAK Obergefreiter's Flight Blouse (Fliegerbluse). The Luftwaffe flight blouse was originally introduced in early 1935 and was based on the Fliegerbluse worn earlier by the DLV (Deutscher Luftsport Verband). The flight blouse remained in service through-out the war with minor modifications. The blue/grey wool construction flight blouse features a vertical French fly style, front closure with four glass type buttons on the right front panel and the corresponding, hidden button-holes on the left front panel. The blouse has a single metal hook and eye at the neck for a secure closure. A nicely machine-embroidered Luftwaffe breast-eagle is nicely factory machine-sewn to the blouse. The collar is having a pair of nicely hand-sewn red coloured collar tabs sewn in place, both having three rank gulls attached, indicating an 'Obergefreiter der Flakartillerie'. The tunic is complete with a nice pair of slip-on type EM's shoulder-boards. An Obergefreiter's rank chevron is sewn to the wearer's left upper-sleeve. All insignia look to be original period applied. The interior of the flight blouse is partially lined in light grey coloured cotton. The flight blouse is nicely maker marked by the company of 'Th.Schultz & Rudolf, Herrenkleiderfabrik' from Breslau and there are size markings (chest size 90cms). The tunic is in overall very good, mint and unissued condition, see photos. Stunning original FLAK flight blouse!
