ITEM #6080

#6080-KREIGSMARINE LEATHER GUNNERS PROTECTIVE UNIFORM: Interesting example of the one-piece leather coverall as worn by heavy gunners on board ship. It is produced of thick black leather having a front zipper with large lay down collar. It has pocket access zippers on both sides of the waist as well as on the wrists and ankle areas. The interior has a full lining of black wool flannel cloth. It retains a small size tag but no other marking. The leather remains supple and all zippers in working order. Because it resembles a flight suit, this coverall has often been misidentified and sold as a “jet pilots flightsuit” or “midget submarine pilots suit”. Condition II- $495.00
