The same guy had 2 M1945 tunics that also needed this type of restoration and I passed on those; but the M1943 parade items are so much rarer that I just could not give up on it without trying.

Too bad the pants have to fall on the sword in the effort :(

Do you know the General who the tunic belonged to? How much do you think it will be worth when it is restored ? As you rightly point out, these are so rare it would be a shame to let it be binned.

No way to trace it; uniforms given to film studios are so altered as to make their history moot. As for value, really difficult to say. I guess alot depends on how well the restoration goes.

This just goes to show you how rare these tunics are. For someone to even attempt a restoration on a uniform in this condition speaks volumes to me. I hope it goes well Doug. I will be interested in seeing the completed work.

Well, I found a nice older Polish lady that does alterations and she has agreed to try the job out. She is odd, but I have been told she is really dedicated to projects once she gets going, and works with local tailors and cleaners. So, at least the first step is taken!
I hope to have updates in a few months. DD
