Ft Garry Horse tunic
 

I was lucky to come across a Ft Garry Horse battledress in an antique store yesterday. Finding anything at an antique store lately has been a real chore so am chuffed with this one as it had pants and a greatcoat also. Just a photo of the shoulder flashes... Jim

Hi Jim, RARE PATTERN TITLES on that tunic. Well done. Would it be possible to post a bit better image?

Beautiful tunic!!!! Insignia is identical to the piece in my collection as well. Would love to see more photos. Any identifying markings to the inside?

Given what the market is getting for these these days I'd wager you got a steal out of the antique store. And to get all the other pieces as well.

Cheers,
Greg

great jacket..
 

awesome example you found there and a tough unit to find.....here is one I found years ago along with a backed cap badge...this soldier was wounded just south of Hoogerheide/Woensdrecht Holland..

Another rare shoulder title. And, Mike you are right. For some reason tunics to this regiment are hard to find.

Photo skills have been lacking lately but here is another picture of the tunic I just acquired

Nice Tunic!
 

Hi Jim,

You certainly found a dandy! Say, what date is stamped inside the tunic? Any name or number for the individual?

Cheers,

Geoff
