Complete military uniform of a second lieutenant commander of the Imperial Japanese Navy

Authentic, complete parade military uniform of a Japanese naval officer with the rank of second lieutenant commander (kaigun-shōsa). The uniform dates back to 1914. The uniform consists of a single-breasted coat, a double-breasted salon frock coat, a tailcoat and two pairs of pants (one of thinner, the other of thicker material). In addition, there are two belts - one for pants, the other for attaching a saber, a parade saber, a gala cord (axelbant), epaulettes and an officer's hat of the "dumpling" (bikorn) type. The uniform is tailor-made. The entire set fits in two original cases (one for the uniform and a separate one for the hat and epaulettes). Parade saber made in the early 20th century for a Japanese naval officer. The head is single-edged, with a slight curve and armor, nickel-plated. The fittings of the saber are made of gilded brass, with a hilt, braid and hood decorated with a floral motif, and a folding shield. The wooden handle is covered with stingray leather and wrapped with gold-plated wire. Black leather scabbard. Neck, butt and riffle made of gilded brass, also with floral cherry blossom (sakura) motif.
