Original period manufacture. Waist length dark blue wool jacket with ornate gold wire cording on the front, cuffs and back. All of the Queen's crown bullet style buttons are present. Red wool collar trimmed in the same cording, with ornate silver wire bursting bombs on both sides. Old name tag in the collar literally hanging by a thread, name appears to be something like H.T.El Leeson Esq. R.A.. The collar is a bit loose on the reverse where it meets the body of the coat, and the upper right cord line needs to be reattached. Gray silk lining with leather reinforcement at the waist. No moth issues to mention. A gorgeous uniform just needing a little love.
