Constabulary Posted February 24, 2012 Share #1 Posted February 24, 2012 I absolutely know nothing about the US Navy Dress Uniforms. I once got this in a lot of uniforms but never tried to find out what it is so maybe someone can help me. Looks Taylor made to me- it has a red silk lining. Worth something or just a "Navy Dress"?

67Rally Posted February 24, 2012 Share #2 Posted February 24, 2012 That is a very nice tailor-made service dress blue jacket. Love the bullion! It is a bit worn, but very nice! Great score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnut63 Posted February 24, 2012 Share #3 Posted February 24, 2012 The star above the eagle is for the Senior Chief rank, an E-8 position established in 1958 so this jacket will date around then. After the first year or 2 the star was implemented into the patch as one unit. The gold hash marks on the sleeve each represent 4 years so if this coat is from 1958 then he would have been in for 20-24 years prior, entering somethime around 1934-1938. The rating badge is for a shipfitter, hence the crossed hammers. Tyson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it COULD be earlier as the star was added later as indicated by the significantly noticeable difference in tarnishing on the bullion - the star is brighter. But that could also be due to a difference in the material of the star versus the crow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
