Hawkeye said:The jacket is very nice on its own merits, but the seller is notorious for badging up 1940s jackets to look like they were Luftwaffe. I can almost guarantee you he put those stitch holes and epaulet buttons there himself. He's sold enough "Luftwaffe" jackets to equip 7 or 8 squadrons by now.

It does look very like Eastman's version.
Reasons ?tamoko said:my 5 cent, looks like fake.
havocpaul said:Isn't the bottom line with these jackets is they were ALL non-regulation, private-purchase jackets, usually (motor) cycle jackets therefore unless there is real provedence from a reliable first-hand source ( a real vet) it is just another very nice period leather jacket....and nowt wrong with that. I wish this one was a bigger size as I'd love one like that.
Seems a few interested bidders agree with you there Noel.Falcon_52 said:The zipper teeth and slider look a little too shiny to me for a jacket of this age. The seller doesn't mention that it has been replaced...but the rest of the jacket looks legitimate.
