Hello gents 

Here is , for review, an USAAF "attribued" battle dress 

Battle dress is a good one, 1944 dated, but I was a bit aware about the insignia on it 
(Medals are postwar added)

The collar and rank insignia would  be for an officer,  and officers would normally not have a good conduct medal (unless they were enlisted first). so "could be" but not usual.

Thanks for the reply 

As I writted earlier, peraps medals have been added to the uniform for value or was a part of the battledress story

About the insignia and patch sewing, would it be correct for a 1944 officer ?

The 9th AF patch looks theatre made to me which is good. The sewing looks average and can be inconsistent overall. My first impression when seeing this jacket was that insignia was added to increase value.
