Hello guys, I would like to get your opinions on this tunic.

Wound stripe has been recently added.

If those closure and cuff buttons have adorned this for many decades, there will be evidence of their oxidation onto the fabric - additionally, there would be some old rust under the pocket-flaps from the shanks of those U.S. made buttons.

For me it's a legitimately worn and sun/cleaning solution bleached 1950s piece with modern-applied original WWII/early postwar embellishments.

It displays nice in any case though...

Cheers,
Richie
