• Grade 1 - Excellent condition for its age. The patches are made to a fantastic standard. Some prior use, but no holes or tears which is incredible for its age. Buttons do appear to be newer issue, so brass ones were likely replaced more recently, but this seems to be the only tweak ever made to the coat. Up for many new adventures.

Any questions please feel free to ask!
