Horizon Blue Aviator's tunic

[Luftmensch]

I don't know anything about these...if anyone can spot anything odd or interesting I'd love to know. 

 

The cap seems to match the cuffs--Lt. Col.  But what are those shoulder straps--just decoration?  I see thread  along the shoulder closer to the neck.  Is that for attaching dress epaulettes? 

 

I also wonder if this is a wartime model tunic, and am I right in thinking this could have been worn thru 1922 when the distinctive uniform came out.? 

 

I was told the brassard does not belong, should be worn on a matching black tunic, and may be fake.  Many thanks for any info...

Its a  tunic of the Aeronautique Militaire , for a Lt Colonel and the shoulder tabs (passants ) are for the use of Dress Epaulettes behind . the winged 5 points star on the collar patch denotes a Pilot . Iam inclined to believe that your tunic was used during the WW1 or perhaps until 1923 when the new uniform for the Aeronautique was reglamented , a uniform that was grey blue in colour , darker than the Bleu Horizon . the Louise Bleu uniform for Officers was reglamented in 1928, six years before the transformation of the Aeronautique in the Armee de L Air .

Thanks, Bayern...what I hoped to hear.  The brassard is fake, I've learned.

My Pleasure !
