Can't tell much about the badges and ribbons themselves, but I'm pretty confident that they haven't been on that tunic for long. The ribbons in particular. Badges which have been worn on a uniuform piece for any lenght of time, especially if it has been cleaned/washed tend to look as if they have 'sunken' into the surface of the tunic.
I also think I can see that all of the arm badges are machine sewn to the tunic, which would be unusual as well.
Something done up for display/re-enactment perhaps?

the badges are original, they comes from a verry good seller,,, but they are resewed on the tunic,,,

thanks for your advice

As already posted, the pegasus patches do not appear good IMO which is wherre half the value of a put together item such as this lies, the BD is £100-150, the wings are £50-60, the the stripes £20, the peggies if good are £150, total about £350 which is just under 400 euros. even if all good, why it is 550 euros is beyond me and as I already said I could doubt the peggies, really need to see better pics than these. If it was all original untouched then the value would be higher than being asked perhaps, but that is not the case.

Henk,
In my opinion the pegasus patches are probably fake. You will need to see the backs of the patches to by 100% sure. Wings possible fakes also.
The medal ribbons have been put on upside down, and appear in reverse order. The campaign medals would have been awarded after the end of the war so (with the exception of the 1939-45 Star and Africa Star ribbon) the wearing of all the ribbons indicates a post-wartime BD.
As said my opinion, I may be proven wrong...
