VICTORIAN PERIOD OFFICERS MESS DRESS JACKET

Ashburton Guards

Images from the Aubrey Bairstow Collection. Victorian period Military Tunic for a local NZ volunteer. This has a full set of buttons being of the VR design made by E Stillwell, London (10 large silver coloured ones and two silvered brass small epaulette ones).  The epaulettes have the integral woven titles "AG" which I am told is Ashburton Guards. Made by the NZ Clothing Coy. My opinion on this tunic is that the buttons are probably late Maori War period generic ones, re-used on a 1870-1880 period tunic.
