Step into the elegance of history with the Luftwaffe Evening Gala Tunic, a masterfully crafted garment named to Leutnant Zimmermann. Impeccably preserved, this gala tunic is a testament to meticulous artistry. Fashioned from a superior officer-grade blue tricot, it boasts a fine hand-embroidered Luftwaffe Bullion Breast Eagle adorning the upper breast, showcasing originality and precision. The left breast area proudly displays three sets of award loops, each carefully sewn in place.
The silver aluminum pebbled buttons, in near mint condition, grace the tunic with their original charm. Two sewn-in style Shoulder Boards, bearing two gold pips designating the rank of “Hauptmann” and pipped in red, add a touch of authority. An intact silver wire Augillette and a double twist aluminum wire braid along the collar perimeter exude sophistication.
Inside, a fine blue artificial silk lining, with minimal wear and a retained high sheen, cradles the wearer in comfort. The sleeves, lined in exquisite white artificial silk, add a refined touch. A tailor’s label, a mark of authenticity, graces the neck area, while a hand-sewn tailors name tag inside the interior pocket reveals the original owner’s details and date.
Included is the matching Gala vest, still in good condition, bearing witness to the passage of time with a subtle stain on the white lining in the neck area.
Additionally, discover another gem in the Luftwaffe tunic designed for officers, belonging to the same esteemed owner. This privately purchased officer’s quality four-pocket tunic showcases a striking insignia color deviation from the typical red associated with Flak uniforms. The hand-embroidered Breast Eagle and Leutnant collar tabs, with repaired holes delicately re-attached by hand, narrate a story of resilience and craftsmanship. The red Leutnant Shoulder Boards, despite minor damage, stand as a proud testament to the wearer’s journey.
Both garments, with their unique stories and attention to detail, invite you to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of history, where every stitch tells a tale of honor and distinction.
