ok this what I see,
the jacket stands a good chance of being original as their are good signs of wear in the correct places that we like to see in these type of jackets but the collar tabs have been added, the shoulder straps are also new as is the buttons holding them and do not at all seem to match the jacket for wear.
it is possible the buttons were added late but with out seeing the stitching on the buttons or the loop holding the straps on = I cant tell, it seems the straps are stitched on instead of a small leather loop that is seen on a lot of these.
the loops seem fine and their is signs of indignations from medal wear.
for me over all jacket seems fine, medal loops seem fine but the rest has been added being the collar tabs and the shoulder boards both are not original to this jacket and who knows if their were shoulder boards their originally.

IMO the chance of this being used by the LW, is pretty much down to one thing - whether the eagle loops where added before 1945 or not. So one has to evaluate how much one is willing to bet on that chance.

Typical period "Kletterveste" style leather jacket of civilian origin as used also by the Hitler Youth, mostly in wool.
These were occasionally used by pilots as period photos show...(see attached)
Was this one badged up or untouched is anybody's guess...
