Hi Yun,
In my opinion, this is a beautiful, high quality tunic. I see no red flags based on these photos. The color difference noted is likely a factor of lighting. The eagle is placed fine, for my money (I'm happy to see my buddy Adam came to his senses there
), and everything else looks good for the most part.
The only thing I'm noticing is that there that there may be some shadows slightly above the eagle wings, indicating it may have been previously. But my guess is that it's just a factor of the photos, and my tired eyes are deceiving me. These photos are not great, and I would ask for clear, high resolution photos as others had mentioned before ordering, with a hands-on to confirm.
I agree that it is on the high end of current market value, but I don't think it's so high that I would pass. Finding higher quality examples like this is more difficult. If this were named it would have already been sold. The real question is, what's it worth to you?
This is assuming everything checks out after a hands-on inspection.
Hope that helps,
Jason
P.S. I was surprised to see the comment about provenance. Are some collectors only buying tunics where the provenance is clearly traced back to the vet or liberator?
