 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. |
