Condition
Structurally it is in good condition. No damage to the fabric but please note;
- the lining is heavily discoloured - see photos
- there is light iron shine
- small mark on the back collar and three small marks on the back right shoulder
- as so often happens with purple pieces from the 1940's there are areas of pink discolouration - see photos. Some of the photographs have been lightened to show the extent of the discolouration but its still a great piece for a re-enactor or true vintage enthusiast who can overlook the imperfecftions
