      yes, the 2nd coat belonged to Sir Thomas Woollaston White. After doing an exhaustive internet search on pre 1815 uniforms over the years, I believe there's more out there than I originally thought. Surely not taking away the fact that they are scarce, but thankfully there's a good number of examples that have survived out there. I'm also aware of the historical twist site and they seem to make fairly accurate examples.

      model 1815 French 41st. Stuck in customs . Riddled with moth damage
    4. Das Limpet
      well, the first is a volunteer unit I haven't been able to track down as of yet and the other belonged to this chap https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Thomas_Woollaston_White,_1st_Baronet.

      Surely there are others out there that collect these things. 72A3A35F-2021-48C9-AEE7-EBBF80F349CC.heic

    7. Das Limpet
      Just a few more items from the Kaisers navy
    8. Das Limpet
      As promised. Technically I have 2 of these but my other one is on consignment at The Guild.

      I hear ya lol. No eBay tunics in my collection but ill throw up some pics when I get home tonight :-)
    10. Das Limpet
      Yes, I guess my concern wasn't really the tunic itself but the composition of the boards. Are u asking where the boards came from or the tunics??
    11. Das Limpet
      Anyone??
    12. Das Limpet
      well, this is only the second SB tunic I've owned and my first one had the exact same type of board stiffner so I guess it's probably ok but after looking at other Imperial regiment boards I don't see the same type of composition.
    13. Das Limpet
      Mine appear to be backed with a cardboard material, is this typical or simply reserved for just the SB personel?
    14. Das Limpet
      Like most of these KM caps, there are no maker marks
    15. Das Limpet
      Gordon, I totally agree but this is for certain a good exception. Nice private purchase cap!
    16. Das Limpet
      Very nice NCO original cap. The dated chinstrap is a very BIG bonus. Well done
