Don't know enough about splinter camo to have an opinion but have a look anyway:

Odd that the tunic is sewn with so precise sting, but the eagle is quite lazy attached.

Even for a field made tunic, the pockets are quite strange.

Looks like a "repro" made from period material and using "original" buttons and insignia :?: :?:

The eagle could have been removed on capture, or so the jacket could be used postwar, and then re-attached for sale perhaps? I've heard about this happening quite often.

Otherwise it does look good, but as already mentioned it could be made postwar from an original zelt.
