Formerly worn by Major Peter Karapin

The uniform remains in very good vintage condition with no major tears or repairs noted. Some light age-related wear, minor lint, and normal storage creasing are present. The shoes show honest wear from use but remain solid and would display well after conditioning and polishing.
