Is this an original WW2 Royal Canadian Navy Commando Uniform?
I saw this on eBay (see link) when it was down to 10 minutes to bid. I did some checking and with what little reference I have on Royal Canadian Naval Commandos and I have never seen this combination of shoulder sleeve insignia so I didn't bid. Based on the photos attached the shoulder tab red lettering on black looks authentic and when you combined it with the combined operations patches it looks convincing. Is this a put together uniform?

This tunic was discussed on a couple of other fora/FB pages. The concensus was that it is not authentic. The tunic has some questionable pieces, including the titles, combined ops patches, and rank slip-ons. It was observed that the vendor was from a location in Calfornia near the movie industry.
Someone obviously thought differently and put out over $300 on it.

Navy Uniform
The post-SWW manufactured trousers should be a clue that the uniform is not what it is being advertised as.
