I would have reservations about the cuff title.

The stamps would normally be for an overcoat. It is posibile they salvaged lining from a coat and put it in the tailor made jacket. Sort of an odd configuration. I am not real sure the CT is period either. I personally would never buy anything like this without having air tight history on it.

I like the tunic itself, but I think someone added the cufftitle and boards to get more for it.
Shame really.

IMO the tunic is not convincing.
Notwithstanding we have seen original privately made similar cufftitles, this example has a very thin embroidery. The soutaché looks very mint.
The cufftitle appears slightly to wide.
The sleeve is pulled together by sewing the cufftitle. After seventy years is would have settled.
I cannot judge the ciphers from these pictures, but they do not "sit" in the fabric of the shoulderboards.
I think the shoulderboards are new to this tunic because they do not fit the shoulders.
The wear on the button is not consisted with the wear of the ciphers and the rankpips.
