ScottG Posted January 4 Share #1 Posted January 4 Tomorrow I will be picking up this mannequin along with about 250 others from a friends collection. My friend passed away suddenly on Dec 17th and I am handling much of the estate for his Son and Daughter. This is a beautiful uniform for a Nationalist Chinese Officer though I don't know much more about it... It will be going into the museum that he and I helped to start several years ago so it won't be available for sale like some of the other mannequins. Just thought I would share some of his work here as he was truly a great friend and partner in the museum. Any comments are welcome especially regarding more info on the uniform. I will try to get more pics when I can. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlymb Posted January 4 Share #2 Posted January 4 Sorry to hear about your friend, my condolences. That is a great uniform though, and also a nice matching mannequin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Thank you Paul, it was a heck of a day today! We filled a 20 foot U haul, a full size truck, a mid size truck and a van and we are only a little more than half done! It is amazing what one person can accumulate in 50 years. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Scott, Here are a couple of reference items that may help with your research on this uniform item. I collect Chinese Nationalist items and have found these volumes to be useful.

ScottG Posted January 5 Author Share #7 Posted January 5 Thank you Paul, the Osprey books have been a steadfast reference for years across the collecting field. I will look into those for the museum. Thank you again! Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preppy Picker Posted January 10 Share #8 Posted January 10 I had the chance to see this manikin today and though I know nothing, it was quite impressive. The wood tank and WW1 ambulance were also very impressive. Nice job Scott on the total museum and letting me get some prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
