$375.00

Very nice M-1895 pattern Named to the Staff Adj. to MajorGeneral Ryan. It says so on the tailors tag!. Also the Lt.Col's name. RF Walton. The coat itself is in fantastic shape and the staff shoulder straps look almost new. The coat has his ribbons for service in the Span Am War and the Philippines. Someone wrote the name Charles Stevenson on the inner sleeve but the Colonels name is clearly on the tailors tag. I have done some research on the Colonel and will include it with the sale.

Please do not ask as I do not take measurements. This uniform is a small size. I'm guessing 34. Payment is due within 3 days of sales closing. No returns unless the item is materially misrepresented. It doesn't fit is not a valid reason.
