Thanks fot the picture Diego, as far I can see then the officer waffenfarbe color for the hat is silver and the shoulder board with golden yellow.

Yes, the yellow was for "flight" troops (pilots, parachutists...) the shoulder board has yellow piping.
And the eagle is embroidered on a blue cloth.

I think that I was incorrect in describing the piping as Waffenfarbe.
It is 'Silver piping' and is not the same,as such.
However, pilots with the rank of Fahnrich and Oberfahnrich would wear a cap with yellow waffenfarbe and also officers silver bullion cap cords as they were NCO's who were Officer candidates and this was a special distinction granted to them only.
As most Luftwaffe Officers appeared to be very concious of their rank status I would think it highly unlikely that W.M would wear the same headwear as a lowly 'Fahnrich'.

Superb work Ernesto!
The leather jacket looks really good.

Cheers,
