M1945 Marshal

DougD · 05-04-2003, 10:09 AM

Just got in the third VP Marshal I have ever had in. I had one in my collection a few years back ( named) and then one of Bulganin (made in 1948) and then this one. Its named ( don't want to say who though) and the hat is on its way.

I am always amazed by the quality of the VP generals and marshals.

Recently had another tunic come in of this same marshal, from his estate ( family actually) with these odd stains on them...did not really think much of it, but the client who took the above and then this M1943 with the stain, took it to a tailor friend who was going to hand clean it....he identified the stain as vomit....so, i am not sure if Marshals vomit is worth anything, guess its like wound stripes, a bonus.

Maybe you can extract DNA from it for added provenance! :D
