Hard to tell when the insignia was attached, but it looks like a nice one.

Looks like replaced insignia to me, and not done very well either. The Krim shield is crooked. Just from an aesthetics point of view, I would not want it.

With these tailor made tunics, there is just no way to be certain. Hand sewn is hand sewn. The shield might not look so crooked when worn. I think it is a neat piece. These tailor made lightweight NCO tunics do not command the prices of issue-type wool combat tunics, if the price is reasonable for what it is, I think it could be part of a nice display.

I agree! The eagle is replaced for sure; I would expect that it would have been machine sewn, or at least expertly hand sewn.

Agree, eagle is replaced, litzen look authentic IMO, shield has a chance; I like the rust spots on the sleeve what indicates this one has been there for a while or at least one has been there originally. Also the use of different thread for it's attachment is a good sign.
