The insignia that I see here, looks to be all correct.

The eagle is a first version / SS VT Sleeve eagle
As boywizard said its a first pattern SS eagle not a railway or diplomatic one.

Philip,
I wish I had a copy of that book! Perhaps this tunic and many others that eventually went to the Balkans were quality control rejects. Of course this is just speculation...just a thought. The same holes in the the pocket is interesting. Would love to see that example. What would one value this at if all insignia is authentic period applied? I know the asking prices for the cuff title, collar tabs and shoulder boards and 1st pattern eagle that are out there in the dealer world. Like many here, I enjoy the history and collect. I also want to make a sound investment to justify its tenure with me over the long haul. Once items come to my collection they rarely exit. Sounds like this one may have a chance. I will wait for more opinions because they all are helpful. Sounds like I may ask for more detailed interior lining photos.
