I purchased this smock a few years ago but then it was 'trapped' in the UK at a relative's house during the pandemic. I just managed to collect it a few weeks ago and was very happy to see that the wings appear to be originally sewn to the sleeve. It's obviously difficult to confirm this until it's in your hands.
These early smocks are getting very difficult to find in this condition, especially with insignia attached, so I'm very pleased with this. I've attached several pictures of the details and would welcome any comments.
