1943 WWII German Luftwaffe Pilot Kapok Schwimmweste Life Vest Jacket Fl-3015 Tag

Ellow fabric padded with kapok 10-76-B-1 pattern with original woven BeVo label. These life vests were issued to bomber pilots and aircrews but also fighter pilots as can be seen on period pics. Introduced in 1943, these vests were favored by pilots and aircrews as they provided longer time of buoyancy than the inflatable models.

Preserved, some dark spots, one spot from purple paint on back of the collar, torn place, old botch. One missing wooden pegs and one missing cord at down on front. Original ink stamp on the tag, probably by producer and date July 194? Now for sale, as is fond. Condition: original as is on photos.
