Modern repro ,methinks.
Do not like the material to the reverse of the collar or the cut of the pockets.
Other members' may well be able to confirm without better photos but as it stands, it would not be for me.

I don't know anything about tunics, and I yield to the opinions of the experts, but I would like to note that the sleeve eagle looks authentic, despite what appears to be some damage to the left wing... The picture was taken at a bad angle, though. Is this a case of a reproduction tunic with an original eagle attached?

Images aren't great but the EK ribbon looks iffy to me. As stated above, the collar reverse material appears suspect.
Biggest red flag to me is that the photos are so clumsily taken. Wouldn't you think that a serious seller with a high value item that they genuinely want to part with would take quality shots in decent light rather than simply have some guy hold the piece up by the scruff of the neck while their partner in crime (pun intended) bangs away with their iphone?

Why can't the photos be clicked on and magnified? Surely the dear old gent can send you full sized images?

The Hoheitszeichen is also bogus. The whole thing looks pretty bad to me, and the reverse of the collar is surely damning.
I do not collect this type of uniform, but there are now so many of these type of things created for re enactors and such, they are everywhere.
Pfui.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I realize the photos suck, but that's the best the poor old gentleman can do at this point. I'll push for better photos since it sounds like there is a mix of positive and negative feedback here. I appreciate feedback from anyone experienced with SS cloth, but I'd really like feedback from those who collect these types of tunics as a whole. Anyone?

Note that the tunic is not fabricated of officer quality material. That alone owuld be enough for me to stay clear of it.

One aspect of real collars on real field blouses is that they are very firmly attached. Very.
This one is not so attached. Ergo, pfui.
The whole thing looks wrong and looks to me, very much, like a re enactor wonder.

On the other site some person who works on heating and air found a real tunic of this type. I have the images somewhere.
