Not so sure about the Eagle insignia on the left arm.

Imo its a poor fake eagle, badly sewn with what looks like a felt background, but hey wait for some other opinions, im sure there will be plenty

Original Heer issue mantel, but all the SS insignia inc shoulder straps are fake.

Cheers, Ade.

I'm learning from you kind folks, that originality is to be found in the detail and in the patina, etc. Thank you. L
