I have had this ‘Coat’ for about 35 odd years. I first thought it may have been a theatrical prop, but now I am convinced that it is an authentic British something or other as it has been very well made. The metal braid is of good quality and it is completely lined with a quilted inner. It is very very old. In poor condition, but has been much loved by me to the point that I just could not throw it out.
I have just only now, all this time later decided to look at the brass buttons. Which read......., ”Firmin - London”
Could this have been something that a Royal servant wore. Perhaps during 1830-40.? Or is it a Military Dress Jacket?
I can see that this a very quiet/lonely part of the forum, but any information about this “coat/jacket” would be much appreciated
Thanks, Helene
