Hi George

I wondered about the Bremen markings myself. I have his complete records from 1934 until 1945 and some orders but I still did not find anything that mentions Bremen. I am purplexed to these markings, maybe a favorate holiday destination?? maybe a big chain of taylors with the main office in Bremen?? who knows. I dont, wish I could go back and ask him.

Also noticed that the collar has been comletely reworked, looks like this one has been added probably to accomadate the collar patches. All the buttons on the front have been restitched which cannot be seen from the outside but there are one or two different colour green threads on the inside.

All-in-all even with the Bremen anomoly I still think it is a spectacular original upgraded piece, and I would not part with it for all the tea in China.

I think it is dated November,I will have to get it out and check it.
