Just checking back in on these ,and was wondering from the experts their thoughts on these.To me they look original and period but i'm still learning.thanks Jay

The boards look good as does the collar tab (though you should get a more advanced collector to verify the authenticity of the double litzen and twist cord piping).
I'm not qualified to comment on the sleeve eagle, I don't know much about that particular variation.

Hope I've been some help. Any background on these items? Were these removed from the same tunic?

Jay,

I am not an advanced collector but I do not like the eagle.

Eagle is a variation and good. Eagle is a "scarce variation and seldom encountered" according to Beavers "Uniforms of the Waffen SS" vol. 3. This eagle seems to have some association to the SD. The tunic it is attached to in the book is an an SD Sturmscharfuhrer tunic! I believe Paul Carter also had the same variation recently listed for sale on estand and that piece was also associated with the SD.
