Description
Very rare three-piece Japanese Army Air Force Lieutenants Uniform. Included in this lot is a green wool gabardine lieutenant's tunic, with five gold-painted buttons and two hook and eye closures at the collar. The tunic has four pockets, two with gold buttons on the chest, and two with plain flaps at the waist. Proper rank insignia collar tabs are hand-sewn on, and each has a period piece of celluloid covering the original stitching. An embroidered cloth Japanese Army Air Force patch is also hand-sewn to the right breast, and a pair of worn gold bullion stars are sewn to the end of each sleeve. Additionally, the tunic is complemented by a squadron-named 'Officer of the Day' red and white sash with two tassels (one disconnected), dated April, 1945. The tunic has a somewhat substantial hole to the top of the right shoulder, as well as to the right side seam, otherwise only a few scattered small moth nips. WITH: matching pants, four button fly with two pockets and a watch pocket at front, and a pocket on the right seat. Pants legs close with three buttons each, some missing. Scattered moth holes. WITH: lieutenant's field cap with sewn-on bullion insignia at front, adjustment tie at back. A rare air force uniform, regardless of condition issues.
