Oliver Pattern Valise and Seven Button Tunic

For those awaiting the chance to buy the Oliver Pattern Valise and The Seven Button Tunic the wait is almost over. What Price Glory will soon put these online. I will update this post when they are ready. In the mean time keep watching the WPG site. They are also coming up with reproduction Canadian buttons and badges. Many thanks WPG!


For those of you interested in this equipment keep checking the site by clicking on the link listed below.




Two days later:

I have received some items which are not yet available but here are some photos to whet the desire of any enthusiast:

Here, first, are the collar dogs. The one to the left is the reproduction from a well polished original while the one on the right is an original in its real form. The second photo shows the reproduction cap badge. 



Next are some photos of the Oliver Pattern valise copied faithfully from an original of 1899 which saw service in the Boer War.




The seven button tunic is as seen in the past photos.


These items will all be addressed in turn shortly. Also my new blog on Great War artifacts and Great War reproductions will be of interest.
