Absolutely Gorgeous
WWII RCAF Air Gunners Tunic!!
Comes with Very Rare Distinguished Flying Cross ribbon!!
as well as
1939-45 Star
Defense Medal/Volunteer Medal with Maple Leaf/War Medal ribbons
This tunic is in exceptional condition (no mothing) & a larger size than normal.
Would be great for a re-enactor.
I'm not sure the proper measurements but my chest is
40 inches (actual) around & it fits me good.
So would that be a 40??
The inseam of the arm is 19"
I'm 6' 1" & it's a little short on me
so I would say it was made for someone around 5' 11"

This auction is about a German Air Force dagger from WWII. This is the first model dagger used by the Luftwaffe and was manufactured by wMw (WAFFENFABRIK MAX WEYESBERG) of Solingen (look at the photo). This is a somehow rarer maker. All the metal elements are in very good condition and the fittings retain most of their plating and gilding. The blade remains extremely straight and sharp, almost like new with only a few minor darker spots. The original leather washer is still present. The scabbard is immaculate, while the grip shows some aging. The wire on the grip is all intact (see photo) The chain and its fittings are perfect.

From a local estate of a mechanic in the 8th Air Force in WWII is this pair of WWII candle sticks that are six inches high and the base is in the figure 8 made out of aircraft plexaglass. Ver unusual, I guess this mechanic had more time than I thought to mess around. Then again he could have made these just before he came home.
