Hello
I just purchase this pioneer uniform. It was bought by a collector from the soldiers family in the 70th. The tunic and cap are nice. I got the pants too. I will let the uniform stand by itself. I posted the cap at the headgear forum.
The tunic is in very good condition. The collar tabs show signs of use compatible with collar. The collar patches are machine sawn and there is no evidence of another stitching in the inside of the collar. The shoulder boards are tight. The eagle stitches do no go across the lining. Nothing glows on blacklight.
I don't know about the pants. They look period and they are charcoal gray. It look that somebody placed cuffs at the end. They are not pipped.I got a very good price so the pants were free anyway
thanks
Juan
