Dodgy seller and laughable prices aside, the Hartmann jacket is stunning.

Andrew, he has 100% positive feedback.

Looks to me like he's got good stuff and has accepted what most likely was reasonable offers on the big dollar items. Like many Ebay sellers, you can ask all you want but what you'll actually get is another story. Do you know this guy and call him dodgy from a personal experience?

Well that's cheating for sure, one thing to call a blank period Moto Jacket Luft, another thing to dress it up and call it Luft.

agreed, soren. during the 1960s, early 70s these jackets [coats] were showing up in the us. obviously an army-navy importer had a large shipment, and they became a fashion item with the hipster underground. all were vintage 1950s?, and all were made in sweden .

The short version is that I was on my way back from Praha by train.
Had five hours wait for the next train in East Berlin. It was a very early sunday morning and there was absolutely nothing open or nothing to do at the train station, so I decided to take a stroll along the Berlin Wall.
I walked the route with another group of tourists and at some time a police car just followed us very slowly.
I turned around and looked at them, where upon they stopped the car and call me over.
I was told to get into the car - on the front seat.
They asked me a lot of questions - where I came from, what I was doing here, where I was heading etc etc...They also wanted my passport and while they were checking my ID on the police radio, I saw they had taken a couple of polaroid picture of me just as I looked at them.
After a couple of minutes they were satisfied with my ID and my answers and told me to go directly back to the train station and wait there for my train.
On the way out of the car, I managed to steal one of the photos.
That's about it!

Cool story Soren and a great photo. Still evidence of bomb damage all around. By the way, you look like Dennis Hopper in Easy Rider in that photo.
