RARE Original 1902 Pattern WW1 British Army Tunic Rifle Brigade
This is a really rare 1902 Pattern British Army Tunic from WW1. Original Items such as this are really hard to come by now. It has Sergeants stripes on both arms. They are black with the crown and horn. They are manufactured by Firmin and Co.

The cuffs have been hand stitched. Armpit to cuff end 20. Arm pit to Arm Pit is 19" So it is around 36 to 38" chest. Back collar to bottom of jacket 29.

So the condition - This a very original piece but it does have the feel that it is straight from the trenches rather than the parade ground. If you are looking for a perfect item or museum piece then this one isn't for you. I will try and be as honest as possible about the condition.

The cloth is fairly grubby all over and shows it age of being 100 years old. There is a dark mark on the right shoulder front. There is a slight rust stain on right shoulder rear.

Both sleeves ends are dirtier than the rest. There is a small red mark on the sleeve. Inside the jacket the cloth panels are all fairly dirty as well. Buttons There is one of the front five buttons missing. 1 of the four pocket buttons is missing. Both epaulettes buttons are present but one has a small piece missing. Sergeants stripes both in good condition.

But brass buckle straps are present. Moth holes - Yes, there are a quite a few. Front Right just below the belt line (Photo).

Left sleeve three holes 15mm , 15mm and 10mm. Front right above breast pocket 5mm and 10mm. Then there 20 or so smaller holes around the jacket. There are some small tears. Front where the missing button is.

Two on the inside collar but these cant be seen when the collar is folded over. At edge of left epaulette thee stitching is split. Listing all the faults makes it sound like a non starter but you will see from the photos that the item remains a good looking piece. Please note that the variation of colour in some of the photos may be due to some being shot outside and some inside. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further details.

I can send more specific photos if you request. The item "RARE Original 1902 Pattern WW1 British Army Tunic Rifle Brigade" is in sale since Thursday, November 10, 2016.
