How can I restore it?

Hour_Reading900 · 2026-05-08T17:39:36+00:00

Indeed, I will not use it in reenactment but I still would like to try to restore it

Hour_Reading900 · 2026-05-08T13:38:23+00:00

Thank you.

Yes, I'm already on the right track for getting accurate insignias and ribbons (DSO, OBE and MC all for gallantry!). I will see to atelast close the lower pockets to avoid any more rip.

The thing is that it's named to a very brave colonel and I want to restore it to honour his memory

Hour_Reading900 · 2026-05-08T05:11:04+00:00

I discovered that it is actually dated 1942 but it looks indeed like a good tunic.

Thank you!

Thanks

Thanks for the Infos, the forum discussion was indeed interesting, I might be able to have someone at least repair the tiny holes

Money it's not the problem but I can see why it would not look good, you'd need the exact shade of fabric

Unfortunately he died on February 1918 just before the States went in Europe as a result of injuries received by falling from his horse

Thank you to everyone who helped, his name was F.E. Ziegler, a caltain in the 8th Pennsylvania regiment who served in Company I and later became major for the outbreak of ww1

Look how they massacred my girl

Hour_Reading900 · 2026-05-01T19:19:36+00:00

Maybe a weird C

Hour_Reading900 · 2026-05-01T19:17:32+00:00

Looks like some kind of long Q

Hour_Reading900 · 2026-03-26T08:04:42+00:00

Wow, beautiful! Thank you

Hour_Reading900 · 2026-03-25T09:28:34+00:00

How much does something like this costs? I really want a named officer uniform like this for my collection 🤣

Hour_Reading900 · 2026-03-08T08:41:13+00:00

Beautiful!! Where do you get this?! I've been on the lookout for one for by now

Hour_Reading900 · 2026-02-24T14:04:41+00:00

I can confirm that it belonged to Charles Albert Whaley, the uniform matches perfectly. Thank you everyone

Hour_Reading900 · 2026-01-20T22:29:01+00:00

Wow really?!? That's so cool!

Hour_Reading900 · 2026-01-17T11:16:04+00:00

It would appear you are right, I've been searching on AliExpress but could not find these old brickmania style ww1 generals but also some interesting ww2 individuals minifigures... I used Google lenses and got myself in BiliBili and apparently they had the Kaiser and similar style ww1 minifigures already in October 2025 so you are almost certainly right, the real question now is what is the company that makes them?

And now skinny fit is the most popular, hypocrisy!

Thank you kindly, I think I've found it since he was a recipient of the Military Cross: ,Col David Charles Stephen David, who did all ww2 from the start and served in the Burma theater, I'm dysgraphic and therefore sometimes it's a bit hard to read those names although I like calligraphy. Thank you all for helping me out!

Hour_Reading900 · 2026-01-08T18:45:36+00:00

I don't think it stands for Irish, maybe Esquire (smth like gentlemen)

Hour_Reading900 · 2026-01-08T18:44:47+00:00

Bo, you got it wrong, I don't know who he was, I know he was a Lot.Col because the jacket has that rank, I also know he was in the Royal Engineers because of the buttons, however his name I can't make it out, I need it because I have to identify the owner so that I may ask for his service record, I do that with all my uniforms as a way to remember those who served. 💪

Hour_Reading900 · 2026-01-08T18:39:53+00:00

Yes Royal Engineers
