Opinions On Ss Eagle On Npea Tunic

[Gerard/Relic Hunter]

Hi Guys,
I just wanted to get some feedback on this eagle on my NPEA student tunic. Obviously, it is an SS pattern of eagle, but is it a know original, known fake? etc. The tunic is 100% original, the eagle is zigzag sewn with period thread, no evidence of any other eagle on the tunic. I have a customer who is interested in this uniform, only he wants to know about this eagle. Opinions appreciated.

Thanks,

Gerard

Didn't Bob Coleman have an identical one of these eagles on an NPEA tunic that was lost in the mail and then located?

Found the link:

I would check with Bob. I also have to ask why there would be a "textbook" SS eagle on an NPEA tunic? Enquiring minds want to know......

Don't know myself, but this IS the tunic Bob used to own.
