john gregory Posted 14 March , 2010 Share Posted 14 March , 2010 Anyone seen another ''' WW1 ''' tunic on ebay ? Late war, made for regulars, holes for medal bars, ( thats a new one ) extra pleat added in, different coloured epouletts, lined pockets. in other words a ' 22 ' pattern messed about with. Plenty of bidders tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muerrisch Posted 14 March , 2010 Share Posted 14 March , 2010 mind you, there are bargains ....... Foot Guards Home Service Tunic [scarlet full dress] Good Conduct 4-bar chevron ......... and only Grumpy recognised this 'rank' badge for what it was. Very rare item, for 18 years undetected crime.

Grovetown Posted 15 March , 2010 Share Posted 15 March , 2010 Horrid innit. Personally, I don't think this seller is a cynical one; just doesn't have a first clue about what they're selling - despite being a militaria 'specialist' - a lot of the time. That, combined with a whiff of know all. I've emailed to try to correct misdescriptions in the long past; and got a faintly hubristic-meets-indifference 'know best' response. GT.

T8HANTS Posted 15 March , 2010 Share Posted 15 March , 2010 I went to a film prop sale years ago and they had a batch of post war SD tunic that had been altered for the TV drama Colditz, I think they were supposed to be Polish tunics, IIRC they had blue or green collars and shoulder straps. This could be one put back to more normal configuration. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief_Chum Posted 16 March , 2010 Share Posted 16 March , 2010 Charles Foz was a theatrical costumier. The jacket has almost certainly bobbed up from the recent Angels sale. We bought quite a few and several had Chas. Fox labels. Don't think that different coloured shoulder straps and collars always mean that they have been cobbled together. I have a splendid 1917 11/KOSB jacket (shown) which has panels of many different colours. I doubt that matching material was too much of a concern at the time. Mind you, I also have an unissued 1954 OR shirt which has a khaki body and a green collar and sleeves, so it wasn't only confined to wartime production. Cheers, Taff .
