Description

STRICTLY FOR COLLECTORS: AN ABSOLUTE PIECE OF IRISH HISTORY **

Up for grabs is an incredibly rare, authentic antique Garda Síochána heavy navy wool Night Cape, dating from the early days of the Irish Free State (circa 1920s–1940s). These are virtually impossible to find outside of private museums and high-end historical auctions.

Worn by guards on grueling foot patrols during the dark Irish winters, this is a true survivor of 20th-century history.

** THE STANOUT COLLECTOR DETAILS:**
• **Original Shamrock Clasp:** Features the iconic, highly sought-after blackened brass shamrock neck fastener and security chain.
• **Period Buttons:** Complete with its heavy-duty, genuine embossed metal buttons.
• **Heavy Wool Construction:** Thick, high-grade historical fabric that weighs a ton—made to last a Lifetime.

Beyond militaria collectors, these capes are exploding in popularity for high-end vintage fashion, gothic streetwear, and dramatic layering.

** CONDITION & DEAL TERMS:**
• **Condition:** Beautifully preserved vintage condition with phenomenal character. Sold exactly as seen.
