    Very nice example in deed. I do not collect WWI items, but the more I see these tunics, the more I am leaning toward acquiring one. Congratulations on this one, sweet example for sure.

    Yeah, great pick up for sure. Very nice cuff rank!!!
    When you say you picked it up at an estate sale, I assume you mean an auction? I have to ask, how was the pricing? I am finding that militaria, even at auctions is going for big bucks(unless you get lucky) and have paid near dealers prices for items....all it takes is for one other person to want it.
