Got this today. Nice 1909 dated label. I'm having trouble though putting on collar discs. The material is pretty thick and the posts won't go all the way through the collar. Did early discs have longer posts on the back?

This is a modified woolen coat mostly conforming to specification № 1049

from Nov. 03rd, 1909 through Aug. 15th, 1911.

 

The collar has been modified. Its original stand/fall has been replaced with

a standing collar; however, it still retains two pairs of sewn grommets for

double disks. This suggests that the original material, which was removed,

was re-tailored and then re-attached.

 

 

Some of the buttons need to be replaced to restore it. They should all be

rimless.

 

 

An uncommon uniform coat that was produced for a year and a half, resulting

in small numbers that exist today.
