Default For Uniform Collectors
In all my years of collecting, one does not often see those extra special pieces of history come along, but today one such special piece of history has become available. For those who collect uniforms do not miss this once in a life time opportunity. I have checked all of my references and have not been able to determine the regiment, but I am sure someone among this fine body of collectors will know.

Looks like the kind of jacket Tommy Cooper would wear when doing his two people in the sketch, but only him doing it, by jumping around. Like being both boxers in a fight... What a mess!!

Love your replies!!! I did some further research and did find that their cap badge has this maker mark on the slider - "J.L. Gantry Furman". So another rare item to look for!!!

Well, I hate to say it, but if it was affordable, I'd buy it. It would fit right in where I live. Besides, I can tell the rest of you are secretly drooling over it.
