This is an outstanding two piece, grey leather deck uniform in a variant pattern as worn by NCO Kriegsmarine personnel, complete with a navy blue turtleneck sweater and two pairs of gloves.. The jacket is of heavy grey leather with a four-button double breasted front furnished with grey finished Kriegsmarine anchor buttons with maker markings on the reverse. It has two vertical slash pockets above two larger waist pockets with flaps.

Condition is very good, showing wear on the shoulders as expected, along with some overall wear. All of the components are present and in good shape.
The closely matching trousers are of fine grey leather with plastic or bakelite buttons on the waistband and fly. The rear of the trousers has an opening with leather sizing strap and metal buckle, and there are vertical slash pockets on the hips. They are fully lined with grey cotton cloth and they retain their original maker label, which reads:
Münchner
Motor- Sport- u. Wetterschutzkleidung
Carl Zacherl, München 22
Grösse 52
Datum
Unfortunately the date is too faint to read, but as a Mortor, Sport, and Weather protection company, Carl Zacherl is exactly the type of company that is correct to make these pants. They are in excellent condition, showing very light wear.
Included is a lovely Navy Blue Knit Turtleneck Sweater, which may be of 1940’s Vintage which displays nicely with the uniform set. It is unmarked, except for a small white label with a red number 1. on it. Also included are two sets of gloves, a set of Navy blue leather unlined gloves marked with size 9 ½, and a set of insulated tan leather gloves by Carl Spieth in size 9. The latter pair is also RBNr. marked on both, so they are definitely WWII production.
A fantastic set as associated with deck and U-boat personnel offered in very good condition. ready to display, or even use!
