French WWI 1914 Dated, M1887 Pattern Enlisted Coat, Foreign Legion Buttons

Item #60867 : Original era manufacture. Issue coat with 1914 issue dates on the white cotton interior. In addition, costume house markings have been added while in Hollywood use, going to the trouble as marking the coat as "genuine" . Dark blue wool body with red wool collar and cuff bars. Brass Legion Etrangere buttons throughout, except on the cuff bars, wear no buttons remain. Terri found 3 extra cuff buttons in one pocket, while she was photographing the coat. No moth issues to speak of, at one time another cloth covering was applied over the collar and cuff bars but removed at some point, leaving the original fabric intact. We placed a pair of green/red enlisted epaulettes on the shoulders. This coat formed part of the large costume house purchase last summer. Size about a 38.
