Anyone care to offer an opinion? Nothing blatantly wrong staring at me here? I suppose no news is good news...

Looks nice. Not my area of expertise though so I can't help with authentication.
Interesting how the cloth pilots badge is so close to the award loops.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

Agree, looks like a lovely piece.

Yep, a fine example.
It was not intended that collar patches would be fitted to the tropical tunics (including the blue and Schilfgrün types), though some individuals chose to - very much a rarity, however.
Also, Luftwaffe NCOs commonly wore no tresse to the collar edge (possibly indicative of supply shortages).
As MAP says, the pilot badge vs. award loop spacing is oddly clashing, and the badge would ordinarily be mounted below or slightly overlapping the bottom edge of the pocket. It makes me wonder if it wasn’t, perhaps, a later addition by a collector or dealer (a great shame, if that is the case)... although it could equally be thus fitted by the original wearer.
