It is a Latvian made fake. The weave of the cloth used in these is very distinctive. Note the rather blue looking lining too, which is another feature of these fakes.
Cheers, Ade.

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings

All aluminium buttons are relic ones and big possibility that were dug out in Kurland , so may be it is only original part of tunic.
I will post my Latvian SS tunic some time, I want to know may be it is also fake.
