Kings Own Scottish Borderers 9Th Division Patched TunicA very rare divisional patched cuff ranked utnic to a 2nd lt. In the kosb. British great war tunics are exceedingly rare and even rarer than divisional tunics of canada etc. Because british unit loyalties resided with regiments and not divisions. British divisions were often ad hoc combinations of various units changing throughout the war. This tunic is patched with the white metal thistle on blue roundel of the 9th scottish division. Officer service dress collars to the kosb are present alnog with regimental buttons. Only one emtal shoulder title kosb is present. An officer osd kosb balmoral/glengarry badge is included in this auction so the buyer may find the appropriate headgear for the tunic to display. The immense rarity of this tunic is not offset by its condition issues. I have photographed the 2 worst spots cauesd by wear and moth. The tunic on display is still impressive to the collector. In 25 years of collecting i have not seen another pacthed to this division. Payment due within 4 days.
S&h outside fo north america may be higher than stated below. Just to reiterate, this tunic is not mint. If you are seeking one in that condition keep looking over the next 20 years.
