Late Victorian Montgomeryshire Yeomanry Cavalry Officer's Scarlet Tunic
A scarce and most appealing MYC officer's scarlet melton tunic from the late Victorian/Boer war period, the slim fitting tunic is in very good condition with no moth hole damage, the black facings & silver embellishments being the Hussar style Austrian knots, double shoulder cords and piping remain intact with only minor age related tarnishing, the lower skirt of the tunic does have some age old dark blemishes (front & back) which have been left as found and shown in the images.
The silvered MYC buttons are all present and bear the makers name 'Firmin & sons' of London, the liner remains in good order but does have some heavy staining present which is commonly found on scarlet melton tunics, also inside is a small leather adjuster tab which is literally hanging by a thread, just needs re-stitching.
Any items belonging to the MYC are much sought after but rarely do you encounter an officer's tunic.
Cheque payment preferred, thank you.
