Luft Flight Jacket Question

Greetings, I just pick up what I hope to be a WW2 Luft Flight Jacket at a yard sale, can any tell me if it's a War model or post War? I'll post better pictures in a few days, I've had bad luck in the past with post war jackets. Also any information on the tag?

Thanks for your time.

Lucky.. that’s wartime, always wanted one. The later war stuff went to the linings like that. I don’t know a ton about them some hopefully someone will chime in.
 
Maybe 500-1k depending on condition from what I’ve seen, several variables etc. The later leather ones get pricey for sure! You see dealer pricing at 1500+ a lot of times on stuff like these. Sometimes even the dealers have what I would say are great deals on them, saw a pair of channel pants go for 350 recently on a dealer site. Have to be careful on mint examples though as there are some scary good repros from Czechoslovakia that even use original zips and such.
 
Perfect jacket too take out when your down in Lousivlle for the next forum get together too! :biggrin1:

Really a great find never. And you know what will pop up at a yard sale either. Probably listed as just some old biker jacket!
 
Thank you guys for your insight and help. Besides the tag on the inside of the jacket denoting the tailor, dose it specafy the unit the piolet belong to?

Thanks again
 
Here are some pictures of the jacket from WWII

Nice heated channel flight jacket... Anything original WW2 at a yard sale is ausgezeichnet! Should have Prym snaps and usually Ritter zippers. If I still had my minty set I'd share some pics.. Well done! Now get the matching kannel hosen, gloves and 101 flight helmet!
