Hi! Posting this for my son-in-law. Trying to get info. on this jacket and medals. We think the medals are older than the coat. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jim

Correct— not Civil War era. The jacket looks to be 1880-90s.
The bottom right shows a Grand Army of the Republic membership badge. The GAR was a fraternal organization for Union veterans of the Civil War.

Faternal coat. Post Civil War there were many faternal groups which wore military style uniforms.
