KurtA Posted December 16, 2014 Share #2 Posted December 16, 2014 Looks fine to me. I see nothing "suspicious."

jguy1986 Posted December 16, 2014 Share #3 Posted December 16, 2014 Looks OK, the only thing that had me puzzled was the ordnance collar brass, but I have a photographer's jacket with infantry brass, so anything's possible. Make sure to ask the seller if any of the photo albums are from the same estate -- there could be some interesting results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willysmb44 Posted December 17, 2014 Share #5 Posted December 17, 2014 Odd sitching on the correspondent patch and it sure looks awfully clean on that listing. ORD brass is very odd indeed, but maybe the guy was a writer for the unit newspaper. By the end of the war, anyone who could slap on a correspondent patch would often do so as they had a pretyt high standard of living, even the military ones...

flyboy53 Posted January 25, 2015 Share #7 Posted January 25, 2015 Ribbons are backward in priority, but authentic. This isn't the uniform of a civilian correspondent. This is a military PA type probably assigned to Stars and Stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willysmb44 Posted January 26, 2015 Share #8 Posted January 26, 2015 I truly doubt it was stars and stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
501stGeronimo Posted January 26, 2015 Share #9 Posted January 26, 2015 Are you meaning the stiching ON the patch or the stiching attaching the patch to the uniform? I don't see anything wrong from my point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
