Screamingeagles101 Posted April 18, 2015 Share #1 Posted April 18, 2015 Hello, I picked this up at a swapmeet today. I got it for $30. I was hoping someone could tell me more about it. Also, was $30 a good price ? How much is it worth ? Thanks & best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USdog Posted April 18, 2015 Share #4 Posted April 18, 2015 Great find! That's a Corpsman's uniform from WWII. Look for a name in the inner arm area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etienne Posted April 18, 2015 Share #5 Posted April 18, 2015 Hello, it's nice but not WW2 ... As USDog suggested, look for any name stamp. E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHASEUSA11B Posted April 18, 2015 Share #9 Posted April 18, 2015 That is a great find for any price but I think you did well for $30. Of course it will be much better if named. Keep me In mind if you don't plan on keeping it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USdog Posted April 18, 2015 Share #10 Posted April 18, 2015 WWII era! If there is a name in it it could increase the value from what it already is. Value as it sits, I'm not sure... But for $30 you did very well, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is, it's exactly the same as another EGA I have, which was confirmed to be WW2 Era. Note the Zink back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted April 20, 2015 Share #25 Posted April 20, 2015 The 37 pattern EGA was the standard worn in WW2 through Korea and replaced by the 58 pattern. The one here is a WW2 era one with the zinc fastener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
