I do believe that this regiment saw more service than any other, constant duty.  This uniform was purchased out of the Netherlands. How did it end up there and why are there so many repairs all over an early model 1912 (not 1917 or 1918) uniform. Easy, uniforms like this one were used and repaired and used again, then before the soldier returned to the US they got a new uniform and chucked the used up one, like this one. Someone in Europe must have kept it and tada back home it comes. Not the prettiest thing but if you want been there did that.... this is the blouse for you
Blouse, named to T.P.  a little home work and you never know.
Very well used, with what I believe to be European made replacement vegetable buttons. Buttons or US made that were vegetable, would cook off when the blouses were put in the delousing machines, which were nothing more than large tumble heaters that would cook and kill all the lice and eggs.
Mothing  and damage and repairs is as shown, guaranteed to be 100% real for ever.
Anyway, Please check the photos closely, the only think that I did not show is the inside maker tag, it is nothing more than a white tag and all of the print has washed off.
I know that I have best offer, but I make it a point to not take the best offer until the first listing is over.  The sure send me an offer. Yes, I paid retail for this thing, I am not a business and with all the fees and taxes now on eaby I am losing money. Why sell then, I need the room, way too much stuff and need the room.
Note:  as you can tell from my ratings on eBay, I only do honest business. I am not a business; I use eBay as a yard sale alternative. I do not profit from this activitiy, simply recovering some money and making space in my small house. You just cant collect
everything.

Note to Florida bidders, as noted, before, I am not a business, I do not have a tax ID, I am not making money at this, just getting some moneyback for items that I purchased at retail.

Thank you for taking the time to read this have a good day.
Note: I have turned on the eBay, automated non-payment feature. After 2 days if you haven't paid, then it is automated from there on out. I have been on eBay for years and there is nothing fun about working with a person that doesn't know what they want or has changed their mind. I am not a business; this auto feature helps keep it fun for me. Sorry if it seems cold.
