G'day All,

I thought I'd post this one for you all to see.
Anyone else have one to share or any info? there are a few variations on these.

Regards

René

Hi René, thanks for sharing this tunic with us. This is not a subject I know much about? But I know the branch of service for this one would be the Artillery as shown by the crossed cannons on the buttons. Would the woven number tapes in the neck be his service number? Are these re-searchable?

Cheers, Ade.

G'day Ade,
No problem
I do not know much on this also!
I figured that the numbers were the size of the tunic?

Thanks for looking

Hi René, ah, size markings. Could be? I said I did not know much about these either

Do the numbers correspond to measurements of the tunic?

Cheers, Ade.

Similar to those found in German jackets.

Ade,

After searching through four tubs, I got to it (lucky only four!)

They are definitely size size numbers as they correspond.

Rene,
Very nice, I don't know a lot of collectors that are up on the French uniforms. I do know that they are seldom seen. This is a very nice condition tunic and I suspect scarce as well. Thanks for sharing.
