Indeed. Exactly the type of jacket regularly advertised on ebay as a Luftwaffe jacket. Unfortunately I can offer no input relating to the jacket except to say that it's a cool looking jacket and to hold on to it.

Lokks to me to be a commercially made French or Belgian made jacket ,tanning is chrome .I personally do not think this is a Luftwaffe jacket but does display similar features .

This is definitely a Luftwaffe jacket. You can see where the shoulder boards fit and I can make out the outline of the breast eagle. Seriously though its a French or Belgium bike jacket dating from the late 40s early 50s.
