Hi Jeffweil, again.

Again look at the colour patch on the sleeve, it has no surrounding grey / buff background so it a a WW1 uniform and the fact that its got a buckle at the waist says that its an early WW1 uniform as the buckle was done away with in 1916 / 7 as it was too bulky under the 3 inch wide and quite heavy webbing waist belt., Also some WW1 uniforms have leather buttons and not the blackened brass with a crown and a map of Australia.

That's a real nice item, thanks for showing.

Regards

Phil.
