Named WWII Imperial Japanese Army Major General’s Dress Tunic and Cap

The dress frock coat is tailored in a very high quality black wool with a silken lining. All of the cherry blossom fire gilt buttons are intact. The gold bullion dress aiguillette is present on the tunic. Both sleeve bear the ornate brad reflecting the rank of General. The heavily embroidered gold bullion collar exhibits age toning. The celluloid collar lining remains in place inside of the collar. The interior lining is intact. The collar bears the label of a Tokyo tailor. A tag which is embroidered with kanji is sewn inside of the coat and it bears the name “Andō”. The coat is accompanied by a General’s dress visor cap, complete with its parade plume and contained within its carrying case. The cap shows some age crazing of the leather visor, but overall the cap, like the tunic, is very clean. One leather strap of the cap case lacks the closure button. Additionally, the coat and the cap are accompanied by the cased dress shoulder knots as well as the cardboard tube and box for the dress plume. Overall the set is in excellent condition and it makes a very impressive appearance.
