Inherited from my grandfather, D+1 vet, looking for positive ID and authentication
Welcome to the forum.
I'm not a tunic guy but from what I can see it looks OK. But...the eagle is for a Heer uniform. The pin does not belong to the tunic and the armband should not be on the tunic. The armband is an NSDAP political item and were not worn on military uniform (Also armbands are worn on the left sleeve above the elbow.
One of the rank pips is oxidized or blackened and might be replaced.
Nice close up photos of the details would help. Also of the interior.
Buttons look fine. made by Carl Theodor Dicke
Others with more experience should be around shortly
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Hello Seedubxj....also the grey material at the top of the photo shows off the nice blue grey color of the uniform...

You have a Gefreiter tunic for flak artillery (red) which includes the arm chevron.
As MAP said the armband does not go with the tunic, the other is Heer eagle, and the pin is for a US Marksmanship Qualification Badge i think from these photoes.
Belt would go with the tunic.
