KOREAN WAR AIR FORCE "IKE" JACKET: Very nice condition USAF blue jacket cut like the Army's Ike jackets. This one is dated 1949 and worn by Korean War veteran by the name of DICKERSON. No problems seen with this nice jacket. The tie is included.
U.S. NAVY OFFICER'S "BRIDGE" COAT: Quality, heavyweight coat designed to keep the officer warm while pulling bridge duty. It is wool and is of the same material as the enlisted Pea-coat (P-Coat) with probably twice the amount of material and it is heavy. It is in need of some restoration. It has lint and fuzz on it which should brush off. The silk or slick lining on the inside has a seam separated about 6" long. At the split tail in the back is a tear in the lining and also the wool. Both of these tears mentioned are repairable by sewing and are not visible, as is, when viewed from the outside, only when looking at the inside. At the back split tail there were originally 3 buttons to close the split if desired and they are missing. There is a belt across the back that needs one of the buttons sewn back on ( I have the button). And, the double breasted front has one button that needs to be sewn back on (I have that button also). I tried to photo all these items for you to view. I did not see any mothing or holes. On each sleeve is a braided cuff band indicating officer. A chain hanger at the top inside collar for hanging the coat. By the label inside it looks to be tailor-made and I am sure the original cost was several hundred dollars.
Item # usmc tie clasp $1.00

KOREA VET IKE JACKET, 24th DIVISION PATCHED: This is a pretty nice Ike from the estate of a Korean vet by the name of SEAY. It has a great looking 24th ID patch that I believe is theater made. The only tag in it is the SMALL size tag. I believe it is an issue coat that SEAY had tailored to fit better. All buttons and snaps present. I found a few small holes as shown.

SUSPENDERS, FLYING, TYPE 1: Used with pilot's flight trousers. Looks to be un-used. No contract stamp visible. Elasticity remains.
WW2, U.S. NAVY OFFICER'S WORK COAT: Made of cotton, khaki color. Identified on a tag inside. Owner was a Lt. J.W. Vernon who served on the USS ARIDED (AK-73) from 1943 to 1946. Private purchase and bought in 1942. It is stained all over showing it was actually used for which it was designed. The buttons and shoulder boards were removed the last time it was laundered and only one button is present. The other two front buttons and the four pocket buttons are missing.. I see no holes or tears, just stains.

MODEL 1904 GARRISON BELT: Made by Jefferson Quarter Master Depot in 1940. This is near the end of the Leather Garrison Belt use and not an easy piece to find. It has a 4 digit number written on it which is probably the soldier's ID. It has been trimmed at the tongue and has had extra holes added. It is still a long length of 41". (See photos).

IDENTIFIED WW2 U.S. NAVY LT's. COAT AND PANTS: Dated 1944 and ID'd to J.C. LANDES. I see a small hole in the back that goes through into the lining like it was punchured with something. There also is a larger hole in the front of the left arm. Both are shown in the photos. Nothing else noted. Pants are also ID'd and dated. Talon zipper. I see nothing wrong with the pants. Included is a copy of J.C.'s burial info. Nice set of a WW2 uniform.

(see photo showing the left one).Price is covered just in the two qualification badges.

USMC SHIRT AND PANTS: Both pieces are ID'd to J.D. HALL. I see no tags or stamps to indicate sizes or dates but, judging by the rank patches I would think to be early to mid-1950's. They are both very nice and I see no problems with them.

VIETNAM PERIOD (1968) SLANT POCKET COAT: Very nice coat used by the US NAVY. Made in 1968 and a nice large size for wearing if desired. Neat that it is stenciled on the back to US Navy V-4 Division which were in charge of onboard fuel. This coat is marked "Below Deck" which on an Aircraft Carrier means it or the wearer would not be authorized on the flight deck.. It is in near new condition with no problems noted. Compare average prices on EBay at $75.00,
