You might try holding the chest area of the coat to a strong light where the suspected wehrmacht eagle was . Look from the inside holding the jacket outside up to the light. In many cases the the light will reveal old stitching holes . This has worked for me well on ones I really couldn't see with normal examination.Comment

A blacklight is very good at showing removed insigna and repairs.Comment

I would not be surprised to see an SS M-44 tunic with replaced insignia. During the ending year of the Reich, I suppose anything that was suitable would be redone and issued out. I have seen studio portraits of SS men wearing reissued Heer tunics with the breast eagle outline clearly visiable.
The only question is WHEN; before May 1945, or after?

The law of averages would say it is restored post war as most are anyway,IMO. With a removed Heer breast eagle you would always have the nagging thought of "when was the SS insignia added"...
Personally I would pass on it..

I has talked with a seller of this tunic, he is our good friend and this tunic he has been bought in Germany for 800 EURO, approximately one month ago. Of course I bought it for more expensive price. How to check when insignia was applied, I not know... But for me, stitching of an eagle and collar tabs looks very professionally!!!... And I think now get it back or put it in my collection...Comment
