    I bought this tunic when I first started collecting.
    When I bought it the seller said it was a "pattern 38 tunic" and I'm curious if what they said is correct or not.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Appears to be an "other ranks" Jacket in Khaki Drill, the type being introduced in 1906 by the British Army and used up until and during WW2. This type with two pockets is not actually a Warrant Officer version, which had 4 pockets. But promoted NCO's might still wear this type as a Warrant Officer. Never heard of a Pattern 38 jacket, though they did evolve.
    My NZ Army jacket here, is the Warrant Officer type.pre ww2 Australian tunic?

    Red M.TX Melbourne textiles (many argue Red was post war, but ive seen wartime examples). Id be pretty confident this was a blank tunic thats been badged up by the previous owner or one before them. Badges show no wear and if you look behind them the tunic wont show badge wear either. W.O, Marksman, and Wireless unissued and unissued tunic. Still all authentic period pieces.
