Rare Luftwaffe M43 Hermann Göring division field blouse

Rare Luftwaffe M43 field blouse with factory sewn breast eagle and Hermann Göring cufftitle. These jackets were issued in the final months of the war and was specifically made for the Hermann Göring division. Not do be confused with a Heer M43 field jacket, this example is a Luftwaffe made, field grey field blouse. The breast eagle is zigzag sewn in a typical fashion for these garments. The cufftitle on the sleeve is typical and also factory sewn; probably the only wartime made garment with a factory sewn cufftitle. These late war, unpiped shoulderstraps were issued with the late issue field grey four pocket Luftwaffe M43 field blouse. These straps have no piping which in my opinion is logical. Being of a field grey in stead of a Luftwaffe blue wool, it would be very hard finding shoulderstraps in matching wool colour. In my opinion these were intended for the unit to apply their own piping like the late war piped Hermann Göring collar tabs. The straps are typical late war examples with simplified construction. Similar examples with the same sewing can be found here and here. Scarce and choice piece, for sure one of the rarest Luftwaffe garments I’ve had to offer!
