Hi
From the pics I can see.... this looks good to me... unfortunately heavy mooth damage.
Did you made the UV-Light test ?

[armandojansen]

no how do you do that?

[Mobydick]

For the UV-test you need a UV-Lamp, called Black-Light, available in stamp collectors sale shops or Ebay.
If the white embroidery shining bright, this could be an indicator for synthetic yarn, which is often used to produce modern copies.
The letters embroidery is accurate, so I think if the letters do not shining bright, this is a wartime original...... but.... let's hear some other opinions.

Looks a good one for me too.
