CHASEUSA11B Posted September 25, 2016 Share #1 Posted September 25, 2016 Hello everyone, Wanted to share my most recent Marine acquisition. It's 6th Marine Division uniform named to a Cpl who served on Okinawa. I don't know if the patch is standard or not but I like the look of it. It has some moth damage and a little wear to the ribbons but it's a cool set. This Marine served with HQ 3rd Battalion 4th Marines on Okinawa and later on Japan. Thanks for looking!

Raidercollector Posted September 25, 2016 Share #6 Posted September 25, 2016 The patch is fine. The Asiatic ribbon bar some has played with the campaign stars ,Looks like their were more and someone removed them. Strange. Is the uniform named ? Other wise looks very nice Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHASEUSA11B Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share #7 Posted September 26, 2016 Thanks Nick. The uniform is named and marked in a couple of places with initials. I agree that service stars were timed on the Asiatic Pacific Ribbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbuehler Posted September 29, 2016 Share #8 Posted September 29, 2016 NIce typical uniform with the late war type Corporal stripes. He would have had at least two and possibly three stars on the Pac ribbon. They sometimes get damaged a lost, so no big deal. Easy to replace the collar insignia as well.

John Pfannenstein Posted October 16, 2016 Share #9 Posted October 16, 2016 I just got a 6th Marine uniform like yours at the last military show I attended. I sure with it had ANY paperwork with it. Thanks for sharing your uniform with us. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
