Regimental number is wire braid.The epaulets for this tunic are rare, removable, and color present under the clover epaulets is the same as the tunic and correct to the piece.

Black interior lining is intact and in great condition, early versions of this tunic were a darker blue, this is a more medium blue compared to others prior to phasing these out around 1891/1893. I would date this between 1880-1888.

Tunic and Kepi are both worn, dirty , and uncleaned and yet are beautiful and scarce. These don't come up very often and will be a great addition to any collection. If you have additional Questions please ask I can send additional photos as requested, mannequin is not included in the sale.
