[WORLD WAR I]. Soldier's tunic issued to a member of the 92nd US Infantry, "Buffalo Soldiers."

US Model World War I wool soldier's tunic issued to a member of the 92nd U.S. Infantry, the "Buffalo Soldiers." The tunic bears original buttons throughout, and features a handmade "Buffalo" division patch constructed of three pieces and hand-sewn to the left shoulder above a red discharge stripe and green overseas service stripe. Accompanied by a heavily worn World War I Victory Medal with "Meuse-Argonne" and "Defensive Sector" clasps which has been separated from the pin which remains above the left breast. An aluminum signet ring, possibly trench art, is pinned to the left breast pocket flap.

Overall condition generally good with some slight mothing and moth holes at the bottom of the left breast pocket. The "Buffalo Soldier" patch did not fluoresce under black light.

"Buffalo Soldiers" fought with distinction during WWI, most notably at the Meuse-Argonne Offensive.

This lot is located in Cincinnati.
