Luftwaffe halfbelt WW 2 flyers jacket : good or not?

Any opinion on this jacket on ebay.de right now?
ebay number :272138067035.
The guy "sold it" already two times, but its still on the bay. Good or not?

Many thanks in advance

I am not an expert, but it's hard to say.

Their jackets were usually far shorter, like the Lewis Leathers Dominator or Corsair, or the Eastman. Also i don't remember ever seeing one with shoulder gussets.
To me this looks more like a work coat.
On the other hand, the stitching holes above the chest pocket clearly have the shape of the eagle standing on the swastika... But was it done during the war? Or is it just a random patch with the same shape.

Considering the fact that german pilotes were allowed to buy their own leather jacket as long as it followed a set of guidelines, this could be the real thing, or it could be a random work coat...

Just found this:

It shows one somewhat similar jacket...

Many thanks.
nice thread, love it.
The jacket coat on the bay does not look good comparing the the original photos. The ri-ri zipper is a very modern one.
many thanks again
