Good score!Comment

Is that a French made eagle? It looks very similar to the French made ss eagles. The way the stitching goes?Comment

not sure
Not sure, the vet served in Italy (Sicily, Anzio, Rome, Po Valley), France and Germany. Widow couldn't advise where he sent the tunic and hat back from. France is a possibility for where tunic was made as there is no tailor label.Comment

Great looking tunic. These eagles are among my favorite patterns, no idea if they are French made or not but I see the resemblance. This style of eagle is usually on early tunics and most often Kav tunics for some reason or at least that has been my experience. MattComment

The boards appear to be Parade Quality although it is difficult to tell for sure from the photos. So my question is are they really parade quality shoulder boards or just appear to be from the photos?

no
NO, believe they are regulation issue, not as bright and shiny in normal light, this was made outdoors in sunlight with flash, thus shineComment

Nice tunic. Very interesting eagleComment

Very nice detailing to the pocket flaps, nicely tailored collar, very nice size - and from the vet's family. Congratulations!
The insignia is nicely matched; it looks like the slightly subdued variety. I have one of those eagles mounted from the Italian campaign - I like them.
All in all, very nice.
