Dave Posted June 26, 2011 Share #102 Posted June 26, 2011 You have Admiral Stark's uniform? Oh Man! Had..."Had" is the correct term. I sold it and it's been sold several times since. Not sure who ended up with it, but it's out there somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History Man Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share #104 Posted June 26, 2011 thats okay Dave. i understand that. i can probably skid by getting some un named admiral uniforms at $200 or so. i know it gets pricey up in the ranks as a normal Captain uniform goes for $100 or more. i found this tunic at the swapmeet when i first joined the forum. i didnt know what it was and neither did the man selling it. i bought it for $15 and when i got it home and researched it, i found out it was a WW2 USN Pilot tunic. the great part about it is that it is named and dated to an Ensign Stone and dated 11/44. :w00t: the picture doesnt do it justice. it was the last one i could get before the camera died. if you guys want more pics of it, i am going to the store now so i can get more batteries for it.

CNY Militaria Posted June 26, 2011 Share #105 Posted June 26, 2011 You'll find a lot of Flag/GO uniforms sell WAY above $200, so like Dave said, start setting aside a LOT of money now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
History Man Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share #106 Posted June 26, 2011 i meant Rear Admiral uniforms or maybe a 1 star for a little more. nothing really special but something that will look good in the collection. i remember Dave had one for sale at around $235 or so and that was named and had ribbons. again, i find a lot of USN officer uniforms at the swapmeet so i might get lucky also.

CNY Militaria Posted June 26, 2011 Share #107 Posted June 26, 2011 Check out the Colonel's Cache-- he has a reasonably priced, named RADM uniform on his page. http://www.garlic.com/~rgkay/postww1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
History Man Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share #108 Posted June 26, 2011 yes, i have had my eye on that one. i wonder if he would consider a trade or something :think: i will ask him. i like the uniform but i am really looking for a WW2 Admiral uniform Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCRECON Posted June 26, 2011 Share #109 Posted June 26, 2011 My vote will be a "wash" on your bar charts, I'm afraid. I collect uniforms from all services, a couple Vetrans orgs, ROTC, and some nice British items. About the only thing I don't have is a Coast Guard uniform.

Dave Dave, You know which Adm uniform I would love to have...if you choose to part with it...keep me in mind. Btw...that CPO blue combo cap turned out nice once I got the blue cover. It is a gorgeous cap! Now, just looking for a shirt/tie. I still need to order my uncle's NARA file so I can get the ribbons correct. I also put together a nice khaki W-1 Radio Electrician (although he was on the register by 1 Jul 45 as a CRE. Finding a pair of epaulettes was tough - still looking for some CWO-2 or higher!

Dave Posted June 26, 2011 Share #111 Posted June 26, 2011 i remember Dave had one for sale at around $235 or so and that was named and had ribbons. It wasn't named, unfortunately, and thus the low-end price. Named it would have brought easily double what I was asking (and eventually got for it). It was a beaut of a piece though...thus my break from my normal "named only" pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat123 Posted June 26, 2011 Share #112 Posted June 26, 2011 My latest (and currently favorite) AAF uniform, recently pulled off EBay. Nothing fancy in the insignia, but named to a guy from Wichita, KS who was a B-29 pilot. Grouping came with TONS of photos and paper. Pilot was in the 15th Bomb Squadron of the 16th Bomb Group flying off of Guam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat123 Posted June 26, 2011 Share #113 Posted June 26, 2011 Another favorite, in the Army category. Named to a M3 Stuart tank commander in the 752nd Tank Battalion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
