Description:
This is an original US WWI Service Coat M1917 in Olive drab Winter Wool manufactured by "LEOPOLD MORSE CO. BOSTON MASS. This coat is complete with all the correct buttons, hooks and insignia. The exterior has, as always, for wool coats of this vintage, a number of small holes with all the buttons being tight, as are the patches.

This uniform displays three, left arm, gold chevrons indicating over 18 months on the front, amazing with no wound chevrons on the left arm.
