DKNYC71 Posted September 28, 2016 Share #1 Posted September 28, 2016 Dear Fellow Forum Members, I just acquired a uniform which had a dress coat dated 1922-23 and a dress cap which is the early 1922 pattern ( I could post image if anyone is interested in seeing it. Can someone please let me know the vintage of the two EGAs: the cap and the collar, are they the early 1922 pattern? Thanks to everyone in advance, much appreciated! Regards, Dave.

Brig Posted September 29, 2016 Share #7 Posted September 29, 2016 Cover emblem is indeed a P1920 collars are a popular private purchase version worn throughout the 20s and 30s, often marked Meyers Metal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKNYC71 Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share #8 Posted September 29, 2016 Many Thanks, so the collars can indeed be from the early-mid 20s, yes? One question, the uniform came with a pair of trousers that are blue wool and clearly military and USMC, but the trousers do not have the red stripe down the leg, could that be correct? Maybe for a short period of time? I can post images . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's corporal or above, then there should be a red stripe on the trousers. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKNYC71 Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share #10 Posted September 29, 2016 Thanks Steve! The jacket I assume is Private since there are no chevrons (stripes) on it, the only insignia on it is a "radioman" insignia on the sleeve (yellow lightning bolts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite era!! I always like the early caps with the narrow chinstrap. Very nice emblems, too. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Posted September 29, 2016 Share #16 Posted September 29, 2016 Is there a name anywhere on the set....on the jacket on the upper inside arm or the lower inside sleeve...the inside waist of the pants or the under sweatband of the cap. Marines only had a few radio sites during those interwar years. Very nice grouping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marines only had a few radio sites during those interwar years. Very nice grouping. There is indeed a name stamped into both the trousers and the sleeve of the tunic, it is; S. COHEN. The hat has a name written in ink inside the sweatband, but it is not the same as in the trousers and tunic, it is: J.C. Simpson. The set all came together, so could S. Cohen obtained someone's hat or vice verse? Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely...uniforms and even EGAs then were government property and often reissued, not uncommon to see mismatches or multiple names in a uniform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
