Need help! Can anyone help me identify this dress jacket?

I've been scouring the internet for ages trying to figure out where the jacket in this picture came from...




I've done enough searching to notice some similarites between the jacket in question and some of the Waffenrock uniforms. They fella in the picture is a New York musician so it is very possible that it's a custom made jacket that was simply inspired by the Luftwaffe dress jackets.


If anyone could provide any help, I would just love it!


Thanks!

field finds : british object to ID

There's not much left, and it reminds me the german "spork". The main body looks like zink made and it's gone for the most. The inox steel part is perfect and it has the arrow and the date (1945). what is it?

German Helmet…..HELP!

Hello All, Can some one help me with a general value for a M-18 German Helmet? I will try and put up some pics, but am really only looking for a genereal, currect, value.
Description: M-18 stamped w/a "(Bell)L-64", No damage to shell, still has most of the original green paint, does have an area of surface rust on the front (forehead), about the size of a baseball, otherwise smooth all over. Does have code stamped inside/top "7548", rubber stamped in black ink on inside/back neck shield "64", rubber stamp on metal liner band "64", "FCB" over "18", "AKF", (maybe the last letter is a "P"?). Chin straps are gone but a small piece of leather is on the left chin strap loop and stitched. Three liner head pads in very good cont. (Grey color with some sweat stains), but the adjustment string has been pulled thru the holes and is missing. Each pad is rubber stamped in purple ink, "I,. Bing Munchen" and "1917".
What do you think?
Thanks!
