100% untouched.  It’s a great study in period textiles.  Plus, it’s got a great salty look.

Nice!  

 

I really like the stitching on the insignia.  The bevo style breast eagle is properly sewn on with the top sewn down and then lapped over where the V stitching took over.  The mouse grey collar tabs are sewn on by the same hand with the same machine.  What color is the piping on the shoulder boards?

Thanks, it is often hard to tell the correct color on a computer.  Better to ask the person who has it in hand.

 

I do like the faded nature of these shoulder boards as they nicely match the fading of the tunic.

Great images, Tom!  I agree with Sarge, the stitching is as it should appear.  Killer pink piped boards!

Thanks guys.  Been collecting over 40 years.  Got lots of goodies tucked into corners, I hope to post many of the knick-knacks.
