YES. I'm Happy new owner and glad to have this historical item back.
And, I have concluded my research of the tunic original owner, Mannerheim cross holder Veikko Karu, Ace of 10 air victories, 3 of them made during Winter war. He lived 1910-1991.
I did make re-research of the issue and compared people photos from SA-kuva photo archive, and only Veikko Karu matched the tunic 100%. Actually he wears the very same m27 uniform in photos.
He gained rank of Major at July 1944.
Immola 1943.01.15 with German Iron crosses. He got Mannerheim cross 2 months later.
There was ribbon holder threads in pocket for Iron cross, and hole for Mannerheim cross.
