Too Good to be True?

i came across this during my daily scroll through the online local listings and just wanted to get some more experienced eyes on it and see what they have to say.

You would need better photos to be sure, but from what I see so far, I would pass.
The ribbons mounted on the button holes are not applied correctly, looks like far to much material from the button holes to the edge of the tunic.
This would be an LAH tunic going from the shoulder boards, one of the more desirable, and one of the harder ones to find untouched, IMO.
The shoulder board loops look like they are to far from the seam.
The tank destruction badge looks incorrect to me.

Thanks for the input Ralph! I am still new to this field and don't quite yet know all the ins and outs of what to look for like I have with U.S. uniforms, so I really appreciate it!

Wondering, was this on the Albany NY Craig's List???

It is indeed. So much for me trying to be secretive about my source haha.

You will find that difficult to do here as we have members from all over the world here, who also search out these items.
