Hi all, I recently purchased a tunic online which was described as ''genuine ww1''. It is a late war shoulder ranked tunic with wound stripes, DSO ribbon and overseas stripes. It has the correct material and insignia so I took a chance but on receiving the item I'm not so sure it is WW1 period, the patches and ribbon look like they may have been later applied. There is no date or tailors label. I have compared it to my 1918 dated should rank tunic and it seems to lack signs of age that you would expect.
Please look at the photos and let me know what you think.
Thank you in advance.
Harry
