January 4, 20242 yr #1 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
January 4, 20242 yr #2 Sorry to hear about your friend, my condolences. That is a great uniform though, and also a nice matching mannequin!
January 4, 20242 yr Author #3 Thank you on both accounts, it is appreciated. The mannequin is a Yanks Mannequin, quite nice and affordable. Scott

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

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. Paul
January 5, 20242 yr Author #7 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
January 10, 20242 yr #8 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.
