hirsca Posted July 28, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 28, 2019 Recent estate sale find. Limited information on the internet. Anyone have a picture of their uniform? Also, what I found on line said the B.O.S. was in gray plastic. These obviously aren't. Marked GEMSCO/N.Y. on the reverse. Thanks, Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Z Posted February 13, 2022 Share #4 Posted February 13, 2022 I've never found a reason why this plastic cap eagle was made with a gold, or gilt finish. The standard was a silver-colored plastic insignia instead. This one is on eBay now, though it is mislabeled as Army Service Corps: https://www.ebay.com/itm/325036116055 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Z Posted February 13, 2022 Share #5 Posted February 13, 2022 Here is a previous thread here on the forum: From that link, here is a description of the uniform wear and appearance: https://books.google.com/books?id=HY_KqHwDcvoC&lpg=PA6668&ots=Sy6fQiiCkQ&dq=army specialist corps burgundy&pg=PA6668#v=onepage&q&f=false Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
