We are told that this item is new and unused.

This Tunic is in remarkably good condition for its age. You need to look pretty close to pick up any blemishes. "Quartermaster's Comment":- We are fortunate in that most of the maker's label is still intact at the top of the inside flap. The Jacket was made by the ROYAL ARMY CLOTHING FACTORY in OCT 1913. The size No. is 14 and is noted as 36 inches at the Shoulders and 32 inches around the waist. 'KING'S R RIF' is also noted on the label. The War Department W (Crow's Foot) D, with another D thereunder is also stamped on the inside of the right sleeve. There is a very little moth nibble on the left cuff but with the material doubling over at this point and one needs to look quite closely to pick it up. As we have said the imperfections are minimal. The full set of Bakerlite buttons are in place. A nice item to a fine Regiment.

As we hope you can see from the photos, this 'Tropical Summer Pattern Uniform Tunic/Jacket', as would have been worn by an officer in maybe Italy, going by the Ribbon, is in remarkably good condition for its age.....about 65 years!!!! "Quartermaster's Comment":- It comes complete with badges of rank for a Captain, along with his 'Orange' Volunteer Tabs. Refer to Colin Owen No. C 105 for the nice set of 'Wings'. These embroidered Wings came into being around 1923 in various formats and have been mounted on a backing board above the wearer's current (at that time) medal ribbon entitlement. The jacket comes complete with all its brass Air Force Buttons with the King's Crown. Four Large Buttons for the front and Four smaller ones for the Pockets. There are of course two even smaller buttons for the epaulettes. There is also the standard lanyard as was worn with its brass swivel clip for a whistle.

A Very Nice Complete Uniform ex W.W.2.

The Wearer had previously served as a Helicopter Pilot in the Rhodesian Air Force.
