Quite odd

I know less than nothing about these covers, but was the sewing work on originals really this laughably crude!

[kammo man]

Yes it was
But in all fairness it’s a late war trait
Early were better

The fakers usually are better standard than wartime as they only made a couple at a time with nice big thick thread !

You confirm my own good feeling for this cover . The assembly seems correct to me as well as hooks and material . The poor quality of the green cotton thread mounting of the hooks bothered me . No dout a little carefull work on the part of the seamstress at the time .

The originals are incredibly poorly made, and this goes for smocks too. As mentioned, early war was a bit better, but they were never finely made items.
German uniforms and insignia were near to junk in many cases by mid war, particularly when compared to US material.

Thanks Guys, for the great info.
I find late war items fascinating.

Based on these photos, I agree with Owen. The cover looks original.
