Luftwaffe breast eagle:..real or fake?

Hello! So today I found this Luftwaffe insignia at an antique store near me. My question is, is it real? It look uniform removed and I have high hopes for it but a professional opinion would greatly be appreciated! Also, is it from a uniform or headgear?
Thank you!

It appears to be a breast eagle for uniform. I will give it a cautious thumbs up - better photo will help. NH

I prefer to see them with the highlight stitching done as single stitches rather than as chain stitch, but other whose opinions I respect have previously told me this is a period seen variation.

Other wise the net backing is seen on later war original examples as well as patch king copies.
