If you watch closely you can see the holes of the first/original eagle IMO.

Hi Pierre, Jos and Tony,
Perhaps the shirt is original. I would have to hold it to know for certain. But the eagle and the buttons are not WW II. For me, this makes the shirt restorable if authentic, but not desirable. If you saw the near perfect reproductions of Luftwaffe tropical clothing at the Max and SOS you would be shocked at just how accurate they are. Once these reproductions are worn and faded, many collectors will be fooled by them. Heck, many were at the SOS anyway. I believe Willi posted a thread on one of the tunics. As this shirt, all that tunic needs is a correct eagle and some wear, and the entire piece is then "good."Esse Quam Videri
