Description
An original WWII or earlier British Army No1 Patrol Blue Dress jacket inrare Irish Guards officer's pattern
semi lined, and older cut style different from post war examples
Lt Colonel's wire embroidered rank badges on shoulder straps --- King's crowns and old style bath stars used then by guards regiments
brass regimental buttons are grouped in fours as Irish Guards is the 4th regiment of foot guards
Also complete with second world war medal ribbons
medium size, around 38 / 39 chest
in overall good condition
Fabric is good and strong, could do with a dry clean.
wire embroidered rank badges are a bit dull with age.
there are no extensive moth trace / damage but 5 single moth holes that I can spot, between 1-3mm diametres
one on shoulder strap, one on collar, one on chest pocket, and 2 to the back
most of them are hardly noticeable and should be easy to repair on the type of material
