yeah, but I had a chance to see just how these were made due to all the tears and rips showing interior, and found out some very interesting things

OK, I got the Tunic today. Some things to my untrained eye I don't like, The eagle looks bad to me. The swastika is not symmetrical. I could very well be wrong so correct me if so. The color tabs look good to me but may have been applied after the war. I put a black light on the whole thing and nothing fluoresces, but for small pin head size spots all over the coat. No markings at all on the back of the buttons. Any pictures needed let me know. The gold shoulder board star looks like its new, The thread on the eagle is a gray silver thread not bullion
