Description

Original WWI-WWII Royal Marines Vet's Green
Wool
Tunic / Jacket
The wool is in Excellent condition with no mothing.
No loose stitches, rips, or tears. This is a beautiful tunic and one that will never need upgrading. I have had this in my collection for about 20 years. Most British Military gear does not become available so this is very scarce!
