[s4rmark]

Would anyone here be able to identify these gloves as ww2 Luftwaffe gloves?

 

[Pilot]

Yes! confirmed!
Perfect, even if private purchases.Congrats!

They are gorgeous ! Well done !

From what I understand, this type of gloves were private purchases, like cyclist jackets, right?
They were not officially Luftwaffe gloves, can anyone confirm that ?

Confirmed!
Very often made in occupied territories...
These kind of gloves were made eastern territories.
They pop up a lot recently from Bulgaria to Ukraine and others in this part of the globe...

Thank you Pilot !
In my "Luftwaffe Equipment" book, only two examples of official gloves are mentioned.
Among them there are those (winter model) :

Thx but incorrect. The ones in your photos are late war Reichs-Defence /wired/heated gloves.... and Bomber Crew gloves.
There were several other earlier versions.
Issued ones were always stamped dated or RBNr marked...

German ww2 era gloves mint condition

Hi folks Found this nice pair of german ww2 gloves. They're in unused mint condition with original size tag still attached. I like the press studs, the construction of them is remarkably different from other studs of the 30s / 40s. I don't know the exact branch who used this gloves, Wehrmacht...

Ah, yes I remember that thread now. Thanks for replying.

Well , the gloves arrived today from the Ukraine and are in very good condition , just a few light scratches on one but I can live with that considering the age of them. Very wearable condition showing only light use. Should I treat them with leather conditioner or any other type of nourishment for the skin?
