    Close up...
    Buttons are Prym marked (German) non pebbled and might not be original to the tunic!

                  Hmm almost looks like a 4 pocket USA tunic, not quite though- I’m not sure it’s a postwar issue though but pockets look different hard to tell. What makes it French exactly? Maybe I’m missing something here- ?

                    The pictures that haven't been posted are of a RAD cloth insignia and French volunteer shield on the sleeves...

                    Maybe someone can upload the other pics?

                    https://www.ebay.com/itm/WW2-WWII-Ge...53.m1438.l2649

                    Looks like someone just took a bad gamble...

                    It does look a lot like an enlisted 4-pocket US jacket with a laundry number inked on the inside...?

                      Jacket.

                      Hello, your jacket is a US ww2 enlisted for parade etc.
                      Some french soldiers used them as walk out uniform, in 1944/1945 period or combat in cold climate...
                      Buttons are sometimes removed and repkaced by french one, but here, looks civilian ones ?
                      But using a ww2 us jacket in RAD ?? It's a big fake for me. But the sleeve insignias are maybe for germany occupation by french army purpose ?
