Default 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

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

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

Default 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
