I don't have it. But you can buy it on british ebay. The title is in the picture. But I think we have a german knitting magazine I can have a look if there are proper instructions?

That would be great! I'll take the one on the right:

I had my Grandmother knit me this from a vintage pattern, all wool with wooden buttons. The waistcoat is solid maroon on the back. I have a long torso, so it could do with an extra inch or so in length, but otherwise I love it. Great for the winter months.

I think I recognize that pattern from Etsy:

I really need a RRL one....they are really perfection.

Rudie, the magazine didn't have pattern. I remembered it wrong. Here are some scans from a different german mag (Schachemayrin) also 1930s. Not quite the same but maybe your sister is able to make some changes?

Here is a full album. http://imageshack.us/g/1/10013847/
Somehow the upload messed up the order but the files are properly named in case you want to download them.

This vintage 1920s or '30s one sold for a very reasonable price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1930s-Mens-...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Eeek is right. The page says that shipping to my address would be $10.95. I'm nowhere near Berlin, though.

Awesome. Thanks for this, Flo. I downloaded everything. :eusa_clap

Maybe just a Ebay glitch that kept the Japanese and German bidders away?

Yes, that's the pattern! I got mine from a website that sells PDF copies of old knitting patterns, I've bought a couple from them, it's a great idea.
