Scarce Edwardian-WW1 Shropshire Constabulary/Police Tunic (Named & Dated)

A most scarce Shropshire Constabulary tunic that was issued to a Constable James Price in 1907, the tunic still retains its original paper label bearing his handwritten name and size measurements, the King's crown brass buttons & collar numbers are all in excellent condition, the deep navy blue Melton wool fabric retains very good colour with little fading (photos taken in bright sunlight, much darker than shown), rank/service chevron now tarnished.
A very smart looking tunic and in very good condition for its age, there is moth tracking/grazing present in numerous places which is not uncommon to uniforms made of this wool fabric, still very presentable, three moth holes present approx.4mm dia. one on top of shoulder, two on lower front skirt but one is hidden when buttoned up, all easily repaired but best to mention, liner in very good order.
Whilst researching this pattern of tunic I came across some excellent photos taken in 1922 of the Edinburgh City police all still wearing this style of tunic and all proudly wearing their WW1 medal trio's.
Chest measurement approx. 37-38 inches.
A wonderful addition to a WW1 Home Front display.
