The Sergeants uniform is a put-together. Just look at the ribbons: a Combat Action ribbon on an Army uniform? Those are Navy, Marine & Coast Guard. An SFC with no good conduct medal? Those are just two things that really jump out at ya. A Glider badge for a guy with no WWII ribbons? I don't think so. thumbdown.gif

The Lt. coat may be OK. I don't have reference material with me right now so I can't say if that DI on the straps jive with his SSI. I'm sure some more expert-than-I-am collectors can add some info.

Yeah hte first one is not too convincing. The second one is just your average, run of the mill Lt uniform. The first one looks to have newer, merrowed edge rank sewn on. Also, there is the lack of a unit patch, which I guess could have been removed by someone but then there are those jump wings and Navy ribbons.
