The silver denotes that it is an administrative level jacket....the breast eagle is also missing.

I agree,both administration and technical branches used silver.

Re: Kriegsmarine officer jacket
He is indeed a Technical Officer but the rank equivalent for a line officer wouldn't be Lt. Commander. This is a higher rank, equivalent to Korvettenkapitän . A Lt Commander would have one narrow sleeve ring with a wider one above and below, three equal wider rings as shown here is a Korvettenkapitän equivalent. His exact title would depend on his speciality but he is most likely a Marinebaurat or a Marinestabsingenieur.
Very nice tunic and not so easy to find. It would be well worth tracking down an original breast eagle and restoring it !

Thanks, Redcap for the interesting info. I saw a similar jacket, although in worse shape, on a website for $250. Is his a reasonable value?

Re: Kriegsmarine officer jacket
I would like to find a nice original breast eagle to attach to it. Any suggestions on how to attach it professionally? Should this be done by hand after close examination of an original stitching?
