Looks like some ones put a date stamp and German clothing tag into a post war Swedish bike jacket !

The seller is well known for sewing on shoulder buttons and denying it but this jacket does appear to have original shoulder bridges and hence Luftwaffe use ?
The side pockets are not part of the original design though.havocpaul said:That is a wartime period Swedish date stamp, seen often in their army coats (M1940-style) usually with the Swedish Crown which might have been covered up by that fake German makers' label....a deliberate attempt to deceive for sure.

This guy has been discussed before. He has several Ebay identities and sells bike jackets and fakes them, claiming them to be genuine Luftwaffe jackets. The one you provided the link to also appears to have been doctored by him, albeit rather well. I can't understand why so many of his jackets sell for so much. He never gives any documentary evidence to link the jackets he sells with an actual Luftewaffe airman.
