This sale is for an ORIGINAL World War One US Second Corps Signal Company Corporal\'s Wool M1917 Tunic with Matching Overseas Cap and Puttees. This Tunic Shows NO Soiling, NO Staining and NO Fading. It Maintains PERFECT Color and is Very Solid with NO Damage to Any Stitching. The Bad Part is Some Ambitious Moths Got to it in SIX Places. There are Six Visible Moth Holes to the Material of the Tunic. The Largest of Which is Approximately the Size of a Nickel and Located to the Mid Section of the Right Rear. The Most Visible is the Hole Located Near the Patch / SSI at the Shoulder of the Left Sleeve. There is a Hole to the Exterior Layer of the Wool at the Right Chest Pocket that is Not Overly Apparent and Two Pencil Eraser Sized Holes to the Upper Left Shoulder, all mentioned mothing is visible in the photos. There are also four pencil point sized moth holes to the upper right rear shoulder as well. The moth damage is visible, but NOT so apparent that it ruins the display of this tunic. The tunic remains so solid and in such beautiful condition otherwise, that it still displays quite well and is rather impressive. If it were not for the mothing, the tunic could be considered in Mint Condition! For this Reason, we Rate the Tunic as Being In GOOD to VERY GOOD CONDITION. The Garrison Cap is Part of this Original Set and Remains in VERY NEAR MINT CONDITION and the original Puttees Remain in Good Condition. Overall, this is a Very Nice Second Corps Set to Add to Your Collection!1.
