Up for auction today is an original World War I enlisted man's private purchase M1917 wool tunic. The material is a light wool that was privately puchased by the doughboy before his return home in 1919. The tunic has a US collar disk, infantry company B collar disk, two overseas stripes, and a discharge stripe. It was a "patch pirate" victim as the outline of a patch on the left arm is clearly visible. There is no clear identification of the veteran, as the label inside the pocket is smudged, but there is a date of 10-4-17. As far as size, it is small, as most WWI uniforms go....about a size 36. Condition of the tunic is fair-good. All buttons are present. There is mothing on the middle of the back, a few pinhead sized holes here and there, and a period repair around the first button (pictured). There is soiling on the top of the right shoulder(pictured) and small spots sporadically visible. Even with all of this, it sounds much worse than it is, but I just wanted to be thorough. It would still display nicely. This item and all insignia on it is guaranteed 100% original in every way. This is an excellent example of a wool uniform worn by a overseas veteran of the Great War and would make a fine addition to any military collection. . Payment via paypal is preferred, but I will take a personal check or money order, but understand the payment made by check will have to be cleared before shipment. Shipment will be via USPS priority mail at a cost of $10. I do not rip people off with inflated shipping costs. I estimate the actual cost as close as I can. If insurance is desired, please let me know in order to adjust the cost. I will ship overseas, with a higher shipping rate of course, and payment must be made via paypal on overseas transactions. Uniform is "as is" and no refunds will be given unless I have made a serious mistake/omission from the description. Check out my other auctions, as I am in the process of thinning out my WWI collection! Thank you for looking. Have a great day!
