One World War II US Marine Corps enlisted man's green wool service coat, or blouse. In overall excellent condition, with no wear or mothing. Stamped faintly with the manufacturer, size, and contract info, including a 1943 date, in the left sleeve. Marked size S4, which is about a 36-38 short. Original sewn on insignia includes embroidered on felt 4th Marine Division "battle blaze", two piece felt Pfc's chevrons, discharge emblem on matching "Marine green" background, a pair of screw post emblems, and a pin back three ribbon bar in the wide Navy/Marine style consisting of the American Campaign, Pacific Campaign, and Victory Medal. The belt is a later replacement as the original belt was missing when I got the uniform, probably because the owner wore a leather garrison belt with it. The belt matches well, only being a slightly different shade of green, but the bright finish buckle could stand to be replaced with an older one. No names or initials marked inside, although the blouse was obviously issued and worn by someone, probably on their way home from the war.Please note that all sizes indicated are those marked on the garment and I make no guarantees that anything will fit anyone. These are old historic uniforms and I am selling them for collectors, not to wear. I have been collecting USMC uniforms and 782 gear from WWII through read more
