The lower part of the jacket which closes with press studs from Stocko is for the Luftwaffe Koppel - what you put around it

its a very short jacket

The leather buttons are in good shape - this jacket was ment to be worn with Medals and Orden for example the LW eagle and the EK1 German Cross - there are holes where you can put the decoration into it.
