It's a repro for me,
always this incorrect satin ( coming from mantel sleeves lining) and unusual
marking position.

So in that case the whole thing came from a mantel if the lining material did...
It does show wear in many areas... The insignia ghosts (protected with no wear areas) do look good
for it to be the real deal, even if it has an Army RBNr...

Fake cap imo I don't think the rayon material is to the period either

Hello,

Unfortunately it is a fake.

Feldgrau cloth is original and the lining is made out of arm lining of a greatcoat (as Alexandre already pointed out).

Beside, the stitching is wrong and this is mainly noticeable for the buttonholes.
