Luftwaffe Tunic !

Hi guys!

I bought this tunic a while ago, and was wondering how much I would get for it if I brought it into the shop ?

I'm not quite sure, as I bought it off a guy who didnt know what it was :huh:

In the photos it looks as though there is a massive stain down the front but there isnt. There is only one bit of mothing ( tiny ), the yellow is stitching where collar tabs presumably used to be and where the eagle was there is stitching where it's been ripped out. And round the back the seem has been stitched up again. Could it have been original, and then used in an immediate-post-war film ? Im guessing the cufftitle is a repro  any ideas for price ? I'm trying to get some funds together for an RAF BD

Cheers guys, appreciate it !

Any idea of a price then, or should I bring it in to the shop ?

The cuff title is in the wrong place, it should not be on the "Aufschlag" but just above - see old stitching. The insignia should be properly restored / attached, best would be a skilled tailor, who has a profound knowledge of German uniforms. The most difficult part is fitting the shoulder pieces correctly into the shoulder seams.
