Nice tunic with correct collar dogs and buttons. May want to display it on form in your collection area. Adding a sam browne belt is an option. Now if you can find a correct officers cap wonderful.

Thorvald, thank you for the kind comments, and I appreciate your suggestions. I currently have 134 uniforms in my collection and only 8 mannequins so this one didn't make the cut.
