My First Dress Marine Uniform

Snaged this today, the guy could not find the gloves, so I am on the look out for a pair. Dated and named 1948.

I have to read the Uniform care Forum to find out how to clean the White hat and belt.

Thy are there, he just could not find those gloves.

I do have a question. The buckel is plain, is that common.

Nice find - the USMC enlisted dress uniform is perhaps the most impressive of all US military uniforms (well the USMC officer's evening dress might take the cake..)

Reb8... your EGA's appear to be of present day issue. Have you looked into replacing w/ period correct type? s/f Darrell

With the type chevrons it has, and those EGAs, the coat is correct as worn from 1955 to 1959. The name and 1948 date could have been a prior owner. I'd leave the jacket just the way it is.

I'm still in the learning mode here. What do you call period EGA's? These are all brass and screw back type. If they are not correct I will be looking. Hey! I just found a blue hat cover inside of the white one. Still looking for the white gloves.

Yes, I can see what you mean. They have been up-dated "Darn" I will have to go back and ask to see if anyone can tell me why.

Here is a photo of the date in side of the coat. It says "Supply Dept, U.S. Marine Corp. 1947-1948 - "5-M"
