British great war tunics are exceedingly rare nad even rarer than divisional tunics of canada etc. Because british unit loyalties resided with regiments and not divisions. British divisions were often ad hoc combinations of various units changing throughout the war. This tunic is patched with the white metal thistle on blue roundel of the 9th scottish division.
Officer service dress collras to the kosb are present along with regimental buttons. Only oen metal shoulder title kosb is present.
An officer ods kosb balmoral/glengarry badge is included in this auction so the buyer may find the appropriate headgear for the tunic to display. The immense rarity of this tunic is not offste by its condition issues. I have photographed the 2 worst spots caused by wear and moth. The tunic no display is still impressive to the collector. In 25 years of collecting i have not seen another patched to this division. Payment due within 4 days. S&h outside of onrth america may be higher than stated below.
