IMO never fall into the trap of thinking that because something is not identified correclty it is real. This is an old trick used by dealers that know people fall for this. They list fake German items in WWII British etc. to make them look like a "sleeper" deal.
Also repros have been made for decades now, people die and antiques dealers come in, someone that normally sells Beanie babies and depression glass saw an Ike jacket once, so they id a fake as that unknowingly and list it.
If it is 75 dollars buy it and you can get your money back selling it as a repro. If they want 400 dollars for it something is going on. I agree with the others it does not look okay based on what can be seen. Better photos would help.

It isn't a Swedish tunic converted unless it was completely taken apart as it doesn't have the seam in the back. The color appears to me to be the correct late war color, what I would call a brownish-green but Janke has had that color reproduced for some time.
I cannot say for sure that it is a reproduction but as said before, if he is only wanting $75-$125 for it, it is worth that as a reproduction and once you have it in hand you can determine if it may be an original. If it is, then you have yourself a bargain.
