Brig Posted November 20, 2016 Share #53 Posted November 20, 2016 Girlfriends in uniform pics have always been quite popular...I've seen dozens of German photos, I own two USMC photos with girls in uniform parts. Very cool image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mconrad Posted November 28, 2016 Share #66 Posted November 28, 2016 #3 Another colorized portrait. No writing on it either. It does have a embossed stamp in the lower right hand corner of the photo....which appears to me to be Chinese? IMG_0915.jpg IMG_0228.jpg I see the character for the surname Fang. Can't be sure of the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abqpropguy Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share #74 Posted December 2, 2016 #38 Does it look like there is a bugle on the sleeve of the Marine on the left? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
world war I nerd Posted December 2, 2016 Share #75 Posted December 2, 2016 Excellent photos ... I think the "bulge" is just excess sleeve fabric. Either sleeves were intentionally made a bit roomier at the elbow to prevent binding when the arm was fully bent at the elbow or through use, the fabric stretched slightly at the elbow over time. I've also noticed a slight bulge at the knees of military trousers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
