BC Regiment tunic
There is a significant issue with this offering. The sum of the parts does not add up.
In addition there are some issues with the uniform itself. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/WW2-BC-Regime...item2c90715a0d

And well it shouldn't in the current context. The BC Regiment did not serve in Italy. That was the BC Dragoons. Linking the documentation to this tunic is a bit of a sharp practice.
There are also a couple of issues with the uniform as well.

...I'd say the rank chevrons might be problematic.......

If one has three or four nicely patched uniforms from different regiments all sewn with a sewing machine, and if the stitch count (pitch) for all four appears to be the same 12 stitches per inch based on a count of the stitching up the sides of the div. patches, and if the thread appears pristine in every case, despite the ages of the uniforms and the variety of thread colours, and if all the div. patches look remarkably fresh themselves, one might want to consider black-lights, burn testing and peeking under the patches to check corresponding fading... just sayin'.
A side question for Bill A.: if an officer was being de-mobbed overseas in 1945 and given a new going-home battledress, would he have been given all new patches for same at the same time, or would he have needed to salvage the 'CANADA' and/or shoulder titles from his old uniform?
