WW2 German Luftwaffe NCOs Signals 'Fliegerbluse'

German Luftwaffe NCOs 'Fliegerbluse' with brown branch piping for signals troops & rank tresse for Unteroffizier ( Sergeant ) .
This is the model of 'bluse' seen from around 1940 onwards & with its original brown collar tabs with silver tresse around collar & shoulder boards denoting NCO rank. The single gull to each tab with no rank chevron to sleeve confirms the rank of Sergeant. Each cuff has adjustment tabs this feature not seen on later produced examples. The embroidered breast eagle is zigzag stitched with an apparent old repair to one wing of the stitching which is most likely wartime executed. With a concealed fly front one of these buttons is replaced & the hook & eye collar fastening is still intact. Interior lining is in grey cotton twill with LBA inspection stamp ( Luftwaffe Bekleidungs Amt ) & dice marked sizes.
An overall nice 'salty' fliegerbluse' from one of the lesser seen branches of service.
