Glad you like them.
Here's another. He was a Lt. in the 82nd airborne but other than that I have no other information. I picked him up in the bay area about 9 years ago at an estate sale but the people running the sale knew nothing about the family. The insignia that is on the tunic is either pre war US made or British made.
This guy was tiny! Also the jacket is the English made "ETO" jacket.

Ike Jacket
Greetings,
Couldn't pass on this thread. Pictured below is my dad's Ike (worn by my son.) Took the picture this summer. Dad modeled the jacket as well but can't button up like a teenager. We have a picture of dad wearing this jacket at the end of the war in Germany/Austria.
-D.
