Overview of 19th Century British Officers Khaki Foreign Service Uniform & Accessories

Item Details

Nice example of the British Army Foreign Service Tunic in a Kharki tan twill (tan with a slight green tint). 4 pleated pockets w/bronze Victorian crown and Lt. Rank pip on each side of standing collar. Removable white collar insert attached to collar by brass stud buttons. Measures about 38" in the chest - Beautiful condition with removable Victorian crown General service buttons. Lot includes Heavy tan will breeches - 32" waist with brass button fly and suspender buttons & laced calves. Also pair of rough-out leather leggings and an outstanding early Webley revolver holster - full flap with attached/adjustable leather shoulder sling - a rarity in itself! In the British army, officers rank was switched from the collar to the shoulders in 1880, but khaki uniforms did not come into common use until somewhat later in that decade. Officers usually wore regimental buttons, the buttons on this tunic are enlisted-style general service buttons. Very good example of a rare uniform recently released from "Western Museum of Scouting" which was in Los Angeles, CA. It was displayed along with another uniform that was represented as belonging to Baden Powell. There is no provenance to support this but the uniform is quite rare on its own accord!
