Original Items. Only One Set Available. This is a lovely French WWI Artillery officer’s display uniform set, consisting of a heavily worn Artillery Major’s black Greatcoat and an Artillery Lieutenant’s Kepi, with a Sam Browne officer’s belt. This would be a great early war French display for your WWI collection.
The greatcoat is very large and heavy, with scattered damage across the exterior, including moth tracking, staining, and loss of stitching in the backs of the cuff rank stripes. The coat retains its original French Artillery buttons, 12 to the breasts, 1 pocket button, and 4 on the tightening strap to the rear. The interior shows a lovely plaid lining which does have moderate tearing in spots. This is a great circa 1914 greatcoat.
The Lieutenant’s Kepi is also in rough shape with heavy crushing of the shape and loss of stitching to the crown rank braiding. There is also heavy staining and some moth damage, with one hole through to the interior. The chinstrap is still held in by the two small artillery buttons. The sweatband is retained, and the kepi does match the coat well, despite not matching.
A great early war French greatcoat & kepi set, with a great Sam Browne officer’s belt that ties the set together. Ready for display!
