SS Panzer Feldjacke Repro

[matt170]

Good day!

I came across this feldjacke in an antique mall. Overall, I would consider this an old repro setup. That being said, I would like to get your thoughts regarding the authenticity of any individual component. To me, none of them check out textbook-wise. However, I do realize that textbooks cannot make up for lack of experience. I also realize that there are some real oddities out there.

Some "red flags":
Cufftitle does not match any type listed in "Panzer Feldjacke Vol 3."
Radioman insignia fails blacklight test.
Eagle is sloppily applied to the jacke and does not match any type listed in "Insignia and Artifacts of the Waffen SS"
Shoulder straps are not reinforced and are sewn into the jacke
Rune threads are loose and seem to be a poor attempt to create a Type 1 tab ("Insignia and Artifacts")
Collar tabs are applied far to close to the edge of the collar.
Button style does not match examples in Vol 3.

Again, I welcome any opinions and additional input!

Thank you for your time!

Several parts of the tunic are not matching an original one- a BAD example- stay away from it!!

Collector19 and Nick,

Thank you for your inputs and for confirming my suspicion. I will be staying far away from this piece for sure.
