Uniform

Assuming they are original....The jacket appears to be mint/unissued and the stamping indicates that it was made Showa 19th year or 1944, Size medium. The trousers have a Showa 18th year date or 1943. The rank patches on the collar are for a Sergeant, however I don't like the way they are applied/sewn on and with no indication that the uniform was issued I would think they were added to the jacket later to make it more sell-able. I'm not over joyed with the buttons on the jacket pocket either. Winter uniforms don't sell as well as tropical uniforms (at least in my neck of the woods Northeast US) and I think as a set they would be about $200 to $250 +/-. A tropical set would bring more. I'm sure you will get other opinions
