I have this past vest with USMC on the left breast and according to friends it is almost unheard of and I am curious on its authenticity

Standard PASGT vest that someone applied one of the iron-on USMC markings to. They were intended for use on uniforms, like BDU's, but you can iron them onto anything.

do you think that it was done by the marines or not?

 

It was probably done by a Marine, most likely the one who wore it, but it was not done by the USMC officially. You could buy the iron-on insignia sets in the PX. I've seen plenty of Marines who put emblems on their PASGT helmet covers using the iron-ons from the set.

Very interesting! How much did you get it for? I bought mine off of a veteran for $50.

I wore one of these exact vests (sans EGA of course) when doing armed brow watch on CVN-73 when I was a Airman in Weapons Dept.
