A good early Kings Crown period example of scarlet woolen cloth with white facings to the cuff and collar. To the front nine double rows of band pattern lace, the lace is repeated to the sleeves and back with one left hand lower sleeve chevron. The wings are again with band lace, embroidered regimental GG device and fringe tassels. Fitted with Kings Crown Royal Coat of Arms buttons. I was originally expecting Guards buttons until I viewed the War Memorials example being a bring back by an Australian Jubilee 1897 Contingent Veteran during his visit to London. The interior with blanket lining and issue stamps.     Very good condition $725.00\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; color: #666666; background: white;\"\u003eFootnote:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bing.com\/ck\/a?!\u0026amp;\u0026amp;p=89e4c42e42d715bd079bf99f55b6502a8bcf9c665fe39312ba2b05dc0288e3dfJmltdHM9MTc2ODI2MjQwMA\u0026amp;ptn=3\u0026amp;ver=2\u0026amp;hsh=4\u0026amp;fclid=2aadd494-ccbc-6a21-0cbf-c2dbcd9d6b33\u0026amp;u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ3Jlbmdkcy5jb20vcHJpdmlsZWdlcy1hbmQtY3VzdG9tcw\u0026amp;ntb=1\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gstkn\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"touch-action: manipulation;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black; background: rgb(248, 244, 241);\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sups=\"1\" data-hover-id=\"1\" style=\"touch-action: manipulation;\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003eGrenadier Guards used Royal Coat of Arms buttons on their band tunics to signify  their status and lineage as one of the most senior infantry units in the British Army.
