          Could not tell based on these pics as these lack any dirty details: interior of the jacket, zipper attachment, pocket construction and so on.

          Personally i am not a fan of the shoulderboard attachment. This constuction method is often seen on none originals.

            the jacket is possible but the eagle i don't believe is original to this jacket as the application is to sloppy.
            the shoulder boards are not original for this jacket as they are too new, the attachments for the s.b who knows?
            can we see the sleeves at the bottom where the hands would be as one side should be slightly more worn then the other, think of holding a joy stick for hours at a time= more wear on one side.

              I don't like it. Funny, but ever since I hesitantly posted pics of my private purchase Major's leather jacket (here and elsewhere) that I got directly from the German vet's family, I have seen at least a dozen similar ones in the last 10 years.

                Worn jackets like this should at least have a worn bullion eagle, these eagles are more fragile than the jacket, so at least show some wear.

                Shoulder boards are post war bundeswehr ..

                Boards and eagle are added to the jacket IMO, so what was the jacket at first stage ?

                    Hello, it seems like the jacket itself is origional ww2 leather. Not sure what the horizontal lines are just above the waist front and back, ? shortened jacket. There is wear on the upper back shoulder area that might match up with a life jacket and cockpit straps. Maybe some stick wear to the back of the right elbow sleeve region. Lots of wear above the right pocket but not much to the eagle. Cant comment on the Zipp logo as far as I know there hasnt been a tally of pre and post war logos for good referance. There is wear to the inner collar that might be from a flight helmet and cords. SB attachmments are somewhat typical and could be origional. What are the makers stamps on the pocket zipps? The side adjustment straps at a glance look kind of fresh and a bit too long. Could be origional but more pics needed and the realisation that these jackets are really varied. Best

                      The base jacket looks cockpit worn to me, the eagle does not show wear considering the wear on the pocket zipper.

                        The stitching bill is talking about looks like a sewn in adjustable drawstring to tighten the waist in, looking at the extra stitching in the front as well?
                        Cheers

                          Decided not to buy the jacket, as it is messed with.

                          Greetings

                            Post war East German. The Bundeswehr never had this kind of braid shoulderboards.
