Sorry, not one I would want, for several reasons.

Sorry, not one I would want, for several reasons.

I agree... Let me try to sum up the reasons;
material used on the collar, rectangular shaped of the cuff openings..as opposed to being tapered..., the belt support holes construction, the (full) liner and seams,
the shape and construction of the belt support straps, the way the collar tresse is applied along the corners of the collar (fold).... to name a few red flag areas... (and the owners white name tag, sometimes seen on RAD uniforms..here trying to prove that its a ligit piece). ?

IMO the jacket is a reproduction.

I agree, a reproduction for reenactment.

I agree... stay away! Bad business!!!!

Cheers!

I am not in favor of this one either. The lining material looks funky to me also. Mike.

As stated, a bad fake, stay away from this tunic, this is my opinion.
