Model 1902 US Army Enlisted Cavalry Dress tunic

[army historian]

This is the last item I got at the local Antique show. this is an US Army model 1902 Cavalry enlisted man's Dress tunic. It is currently missing the epaulettes and their buttons. It has some rips (need to repair) but it was very cheap. I also ordered and received a set of current enlisted man's dress blue epaulettes, for repair (almost a perfect match).

Hi,

you mean the current modern ones match?

[army historian]

Yes except for the yellow (which I can match with clothing markers), and the material is a little different (the color is exact)- but not noticeable, otherwise it will be a near perfect match. I will post after restoration. George

That is something we do not see everyday. I cannot wait to see your final product.
