    Found him in the London Gazette. Further research there will likely yield more results.

    Not sure I'm afraid mate, I think the label reads 6051/3 though. Could be from a laundry place or tailors etc?

    Oh yes certainly, I'm fairly sure it can be a period label.

    Good looking tunic. The tag is almost certainly a dry cleaners tag. Staples for paper were invented in 1876.

    Whatever its just an opinion.
