Listed on our favorite onlinE auction....generals grey holiday dress tunic with Marshals boards thrown on. They did not bother to fake the correct collar and cuff embroidery.

I have found recently that one heck of a lot of Jackets have this flashy Marshalls badge added........ruining decent uniforms......they look real nice.............but fake.

I don't know much about uniforms ie zilch but this seems to be the latest shiney object to tantilize the unwary......heck I nearly bought one it looked so nice.

They pay for it still. I still have guys who buy from me who want a generals uniform and they want to "upgrade" it. I tell them not to, but they want the most outlandish set they can make. These will sell, no doubt.

got an excited e-mail from a newbie collector asking how much his "marshal" was worth. Had to tell him that it was not what he thought...

And also, if you look at the buttons part, the side is wrong. That side should be if the uniform is for women, and as I know, there were no women marshals. Uniform for men has the jacket buttoned leftwards(or rightwards, I still have a trouble to distinguish left and right on photograpies...:p )
