Very Nice c.1916 Original
WWI U.S. Army AEF Wool Jacket
Belonged to "A.V. Lutz"
[ FEATURES & DETAILS... ]
A nicely preserved and gently worn specimen of the khaki AEF U.S. Army jacket from World War 1. It has two hooks that hold the collar closed and 11 matching buttons with the American eagle insignia.
Breast Size Approx. 34"
The tag inside the jacket sources it from C. Kenyon Company, New York, with a 1916 contract date. It is also stamped "NEW YORK DEPOT" and "A. V. LUTZ"--which was the enlisted man's name. (Other WWI uniform items from A.V. Lutz have come up for sale in the past.)
[ CONDITION... ]
- Beautiful antique condition, from a non-smoking environment
- A few small moth holes, as well as one larger one--about ½"--which is visible from the rear, on the wearer's right arm. It has some minor light stains and a very nicely done tiny repair to the right breast pocket, which is noticeable on close examination. (See final photo.)
The above is my good-faith attempt to disclose all noteworthy issues. Keep in mind that vintage/antique items always show their age. (Don't we all!?) It would be impossible to mention every tiny detail, so please expect that there will be something about this item (or lot) that's not perfect and may need touch-up.
PLEASE SUPERSIZE ALL PHOTOS, AND ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE offerDING/BUYING. I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER.
