Yes, eagle is ok but the LAH cyphers are fake.

Agree, original Heer coat, late SS eagle added sometime later and fake LAH straps.

Hi,
I have seen a period photo of this late type with leather patches been worn by a SS guard with no visible insignia.

This type surcoat was worn by the SS with cuffs until about 1941, I believe. These were definately issued, complete with leather patches, to W-SS in this exact configuration. The sleeve eagle is an original, though it's anyone's guess as to when it was attached.

I do not know about the shoulderboards, but others will.

regards, Robert
