Hello everyone. I recently purchased this dress blue uniform with a great ribbon rack. Unfortunately it is unnamed but came with some other items that may or may not be related.

I posted it on the Facebook page and some helpful members did some great investigative work on possibly identifying the owner of the grey pants. Unfortunately I haven't had any success with the coat but it's still a nice setup.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know, thanks for looking.

A helpful member on Facebook provided the following information:

The blues belonged to an Armor branch officer by the Yellow cuff stripes. (it might also be Buff, the QMC color, show a close-up) This might help narrow it down. The MSM was not established until 1969...so that also means this is a post 1970 uniform. Dates of service are likely 1945 - post 1970. Likely an O6 upon retirement. The pants might also be for a VMI or Citadel uniform.

 

Another possibly ID'd the owner of the pants

That isn't Dunphy's ribbon rack that's for sure! Great snags though!

Definitly not! It doesn't seem to match his fathers either
