SS VT Overcoat Opinions Please!

[VanDerGaughan]

Hello all,

I am being offered this overcoat. The insignia concerned me. I would appreciate your opinions very much! The photos are from the owner.
Thank you,
Tim

The swaz has been slightly photo shopped as the owner is from Germany.

The sleeve eagle is a fake. The rest of the insignia are at best questionable.

Thank you, Ian.

[Ian Hulley]

The photo with the eagle on shows the collar ... and there are no collar tabs

Someone's screwed up somewhere along the line.

[VanDerGaughan]

I missed that!

Material in pics 1-2 also look different compared to the remainder.

Could you explain why you consider this is a VT overcoat ?

[Bob Hritz]

The photos are of two different garments. One is field grade wool and one is iron gabardine.

I'd leave it well alone .....

The collar tab piping doesn't look right. It should usually be two silver, two black. It also looks like it's not metallic, but just thread like

And on the 3th one the tabs are gone!

[VanDerGaughan]

Its possible the photos got mixed up as Bob pointed out... Either my fault or the sellers. But since the tabs are no good I have no interest in pursuing.

The fieldgrade wool jacket and it's green collar(the last two photos)looks suspicious to me. It looks like a modern repro, no?

Indeed 2different coats...the rough wool one looks like a repro to me with also fake early style piped tabs. The gabardine ribbed wool coat looks promising to me ..but not its SS sleeve eagle...
