cutoff panzer eagle for opinions

Here's a cutoff panzer eagle that I recently bought on the estand. I think it's a good one, would appreciate advice from the experts.
The black wool it is sewn on is very thick, and the cut edges of it glow under a black light. Any concern there?
The seller has kindly approved my posting this.
Thanks.

It look original to me...Sometimes white thread will fluoresce a blue color (like these photos show) if you hold the UV light too close.

A blacklite is not always the definitive answer to age.

Thanks Glen. I know what you mean about white thread looking like it is glowing, but the glow here is on the edge of the black cloth.

It's an original one I personally don't believe in this UV light theory . To me it's not an issue of originality !
