Waffenrock opinions

[nippo]

Hello everyone,
What are your opinions about this Luftwaffe Waffenrock?
I would want especially to know if the insignia are all factory applied.
Thanks a lot

Looks fantastic

Tunic come with a gefreiter rank.
The insigne on the sleeve is for aircraft technical personnel.
The KS letters sewns on the shoulder boards indicate that the soldier was a member of the Luftkriegsschule.
Collar tabs in my opinion are factory sewn.
My doubts are on the eagle?
Is it factory sewn?
I'm waiting your kindly answers....

I see no problems with this tunic

The only reason I'd say the eagle is reapplied is that you can see remnants of black thread poking up along the top edge of the eagle's left wing.

Otherwise a nice standard Waffenrock.

Thanks for reply
Maybe I see black thread in the right wing but not in the left wings. Unfortunately tunic isn't in my hands

Excellent picture that reveals it for sure. It is the eagle's right wing as you view it, but the left wing of the eagle. No matter, the threads are there and not unexpected. A marginal effect on the price.

Just an observation, but the sleeve patch appears to have originally been a different one or at the very least, reapplied. You can see the outline of the previous patch above it on either side.

Is that the way it appears in-hand or is it just the photo?

I haven't tunic in my hands and photos sometimes deceive. I think it is a classic example of jacket to have in hand to determine if the insigne are factory applied.
