Sold for: $250.00

Original era manufacture. Paris tailor label in the collar, the breeches are unmarked. Inside the coat pocket is an additional Paris tag with a name which looks to be Leamuel and a 1917 date. Engineer Castle & US darkened bronze collar emblems, Essayons marked buttons throughout, with three place ribbon bar over the left upper pocket. General Headquarters SSI on the upper left shoulder with three overseas stripes above the cuff band, silver embroidered wire Lieutenant bars sewn to each strap. No moth issues to report on the coat, just honest wear and use. Size about a 38 Long. The breeches appear to be of the same material and were with the coat at the time of our purchase, and exhibit similar wear and use. Again, no moth issues to report, the waistband measures about 32 inches so a proper fit to the coat.
