Fine Documented Uniform Set for a Luftwaffe Field Division Assault Gun NCO as Seen in "Field Uniforms of Germany's Panzer Elite"

Consisting of an assault gunner's wrap, shirt, and a pair of trousers, this uniform set is configured for an unterfeldwebel (sergeant) of the Luftwaffe assigned to an sturmgeschuetz (StuG, "assault gun") in the Luftwaffe Field Divisions. The wrap and trousers are both feldgrau wool in construction, the wrap fitted with a pair of pink waffenfarbe trimmed feldgrau shoulder boards with Luftwaffe blue backing, a set of totenkopf collar tabs with similar trim, zig-zag stitched embroidered Luftwaffe eagle on the right breast, and a partial rayon lining. On the left breast are two badges, the Flak Badge and the Ground Assault Badge, the former having often been issued for ground action prior to the creation of a specific badge. Size markings are present inside the right breast, "41 45/96/62/(illegible) 344". The shirt is green cloth, with no visible maker's marks and a set of pressed paper buttons, the belt is black leather with a bright aluminum Luftwaffe buckle, and the trousers are partially lined in white twill and gray herringbone twill, and marked "176 180/80 86/115 102/E(illegible)" and "0/0675/0243" inside the waistband. This uniform set is from the collection of George Petersen and can be seen as noted on pages 81 and 251(color) of "Field Uniforms of Germany's Panzer Elite" by Edwards and Pruett where it is also listed as a "unique uniform" and "marked inside as having been issued through the Luftwaffe procurement system (Luftwaffe Bekleidungsamt or LBA)." There are remnants of some ink, but illegible. Note the markings shown in the photographs.

ConditionVery good, with some minor wear and staining overall. Part of the suspension hardware appears to have been removed from the tunic.
