1924-25 3rd Art 5th Div horseshoer

[aefcav]

I recently acquired a neat uniform from Scott Kraska. Although when I purchased it I thought it was pre 1922 and another M1921 pattern tunic but was surprised it was a standard WW1 holdover and missing its early 3rd Artillery DI’s ( on the hunt keep me in mind). The PFC horseshoer rate patch is pretty rare, and having an attraction to Farrier and Veterinarian items in my collection. Also pleasantly surprised that it came with mounted trousers. This uniform dates from 3/24-1/25 period so a very short window. I did find some interesting clues as to the owner, trying to find 1925 rosters for the 3rd artillery is a challenge. I will attempt to restore the DI’s and give this a home next to my 6th cavalry farrier who served in France in 1918.

Very nice coat, look we can even see where the screwback DIs were, I guess Scott was very lucky when he got this coat originally, most of the time they're stripped all together.
