This is a privately tailored Luftwaffe Waffenrock for an Oberfeldwebel, complete with matching breeches made of the same high-quality gabardine fabric. The material is dense and smooth, with a fine weave of approximately 0.5 mm, and both tunic and breeches were tailored from the same cloth, confirming the set as a unified private-purchase ensemble.
The shoulder boards carry metal numeral “2,” indicating assignment to Jagdgeschwader 2 “Richthofen.” The cuff title “Jagdgeschwader Richthofen” is hand-sewn, as are the collar tabs and the breast eagle.
The breast eagle is not the officer-grade metallized type but a simpler “PX-quality” machine-embroidered version, which is commonly encountered on privately tailored or mixed-use garments of this kind.
The Waffenrock is period-assembled for an Oberfeldwebel of the Luftwaffe, without postwar alterations. Award loops are present on the chest, while the Iron Cross ribbon bar was added later.
The breeches fully match the tunic in fabric and construction, forming a coherent private-purchase set. Approximate size: **EU 50**, corresponding to **US 40** jacket size.
The overall condition is excellent, with only minimal signs of careful wear.
