USMC stencils on Vietnam era tropical coats

All,

I have noted that it is common to see the USMC/EGA stencil on the pockets of the erdl coats, but was this also done on the earlier OD poplin coats as well?

I have seen several pics of Marines in Vietnam with the 2 or 3 pattern coats and there are no stencils on the pockets, just rank on the collars.

Thanks,

 

CB

Yes, I remember seeing an exposed button shirt with a stenciled EG&A at a vintage clothes store, I didn't get it cause I don't collect Marine stuff, I don't think I've seen it on OD ripstop though.

Here are photographs of one of these jackets you have mentioned which I bought several years ago at either a thrift store (Goodwill or Salvation Army) or flea market. It is dated 1963.
