Item WW10-Here is a real nice cotton khaki WW1 7th Corps tunic. Small size but there are no rips, tears or stains. Interesting that while the patch is hand applied to the tunic and apears to be quite original, there are no other patches on the tunic nor does it appear that there ever were. All the buttons are there. No collar discs. One of the grommet holes seems a little close to the edge. Not a big issue. Just put a disc a little bit to the right anc cover the hole with it. Anyway, The patch is bullion on wool. Very nice tunic. --$110--

Item WW11-Mint condition 36th Division tunic. While this has a tag in the lining with a date of 1920, it is of the correct WW1 style. Still has an issue tag in the collar as well as on the back. Marked as a size 33. The division patch is a nice silk embroidered one on wool. There is a small moth hole on the wool part that does not affect the embroidery. There is no evidence of mothing below the patch so this may indicate that the vet applied the old patch to a new uniform. No other insignia. --$135--

Has the correct 5 rows of stitching around the brim edge. There are small slits in the brim where the soldier had made provisions for the leather chinstrap. Nice leather sweatband but no markings. The hat shows use with some soiling and minor moth tracks. There are two very minor holes infront on the brim that really do not detract from use or display. Size tag inside indicates it is a size 7.
