Hello John,

The breast eagle is a known reproduction. It is one of the better made ones made out of Rayon.

These all look like very recent reproductions to me.

Hello John,

You are absolutely correct on the wreaths! They are nice originals. The shoulder boards I would think are Luftwaffe because of the shiney top and being a slip-on style.

I agree on the shoulderboards - they are Luftwaffe, not Army IMO.

The Wreaths are good originals.

I echo the others comments. Matt

Can't speak to the wreaths, but the boards are probably for a LW Engineering officer overcoat, given the length.

Yes shiny tops, of course Luftwaffe engineering! The minty condition on the lot got me doubting these, especially since the eagle turns out to be bad...
Good news! I guess a shiny top could easily have also been used on a dress uniform by a panzer officer!
In this case Otto Carius appears to be wearing subdued lieutenant Heer boards but could have easily worn a LW engineering pattern on his white dress tunic,
as the regulations permitted that! (so I guess it could still be considered a Panzer group)
