Austrian Flying Tunic Ebay

[Aerowallah]

Hi, folks, it;s 4 am and I'm a little dopey, but I'm scratching my eyes at the newest amazing listing of our old friend Creatrix-frog....

WWI Austrian Hungarian Pilot Tunic Cap Uniform WW1 Item number: 6619993541

http://cgi.ebay.com/WWI-Austrian-Hun...QQcmdZViewItem

Others have vouched for him and his items on this forum. I've bought several superb items from him in the past, but I can't get my head around this ensemble!!!









He mentions the tunic and cap came separately. The tunic lacks the quality of similar items I've seen and the collar and ribbons look a little sloppy and even theatrical. The collars could stand a close-up but look like pin-on metal devices and not quality bullion work. Is yellow correct for flying troops???

That hat....the wings look a little like the Belgian style, and the rest of that cap badge--star and crown--look like nothing I'd associate with an A-H cap badge. Does look like some A-H shakoes I've seen, but not with that device. Looks put together!?

Any expertise, photos out there that could shed any light?

Rubbing my eyes and scratching my head... ..
