7- (Very Fine-): Items are in various conditions but overall are very fine. The hat badge is missing its catch and the letter which would have denoted the unit; one of the marksman medals is not on a bar; chevron has moderate wear and one spot where wool is missing.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
