The coat and the insignia are original imo but the question is when they melted together - yesterday or 80 yrs ago??

Yes, that is the main concern, and this has an influence in value, doesn't It?
The thread that holds the collar tab looks just as faded as collar thread itself.Mr FB, If I am not wrong, used to mention that as an important thing to look for.
What about the VA stamp?

I suspect its likely put together, and I think the Old Fighters' chevron may be a reproduction...

Arran, thanks a lot for your comments.
I do think too that it would be too good to be true to believe it's an unrestored piece.
