everforward Posted June 18, 2023 Share #81 Posted June 18, 2023 An interwar example I added to my collection in March; tailored service coat of a SGT from Company H, 1st Infantry Regiment, Maryland National Guard, 29th Infantry Division. Company H was headquartered out of the Armory in Westminster, Carroll County MD. It is named, and the research is ongoing… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakleaf777 Posted July 9, 2023 Share #82 Posted July 9, 2023 Salvage Sailor- the scalloped top pocket flaps on M1926 EM coats (like yours has) seems to be a feature unique to Hawaiian Dept uniforms. Any insight on this? Great uniform and thanks for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Z Posted July 24, 2023 Share #84 Posted July 24, 2023 Can anyone please provide me with pictures of the button-down shirts worn with the M1926 down-collar uniform? I can discern color difference between summer and winter wear. Is the winter shirt white? I have a tailor catalog from that period and the hand-drawn illustrations seem to show white for the winter uniform, but what about the khaki/olive shirts? And finally, was the neck tie black throughout the year? Thank you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And finally, was the neck tie black throughout the year? Thank you!!! Yes please!! I have asked this question about the white shirt a few times elsewhere on the forum. During the interwar period, it's my understanding that the white shirt was simply a civilian period dress shirt (no military contracts/specs?) that could be worn with the class A uniform for more formal occasions. Ref the black tie, this was the regulation color up until early 1942 when it changed to khaki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the gilt waffle disks and early stripes. Maybe add a leather garrison belt, does it still have the brass belt hooks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I have one strong lead that I am focusing on......evidence is pointing to a man who was local to the Westminster area (WW1 vet who was a cook in the 304th MP Co.) who re-up'd in the guard at some point. Yes this coat still has the belt hooks. I hope to suss all of it out if I can ever get up to the 5th Rgt. Armory in Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenShayCollection Posted February 2 Share #88 Posted February 2 Outstanding focus! I would have to imagine that most of these interwar style jackets were privately made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvage Sailor Posted February 4 Share #92 Posted February 4 No-So The patch is an inter-war Hawaiian (Separate) Coast Artillery Brigade (HCAB) shoulder sleeve insignia with the patented "No-So" quick detachable metal device. Below is the drawing part of the original patent as designed by one of the Hawaiian Divisions own; Capt. Charles R. Welsh, 11th Signal Company, Schofield Barracks.

atb Posted February 4 Share #93 Posted February 4 That's it. The staple goes through the fabric and the SSI assembly is held in place from the first inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theetatkuldiloke Posted February 13 Share #95 Posted February 13 Recently got myself a blank officer jacket, dated 1928 (with a bizarre way to date a jacket, year in the middle?) and named to Warrant Officer 1 "Stoppel". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everforward Posted February 13 Share #96 Posted February 13 I would say the actual date on the coat is 28 June, and the year possibly 1940 (?)....... It's not from 1928 as the tag has the stamp of the NRA (National Recovery Act), which was a depression-era agency started by FDR's administration. so early-mid 30s at the earliest. Great example at any rate...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3mxd Posted February 19 Share #97 Posted February 19 My guess is 1934. The tell is the NRA eagle which appears in the tag but the act which established it was declared unconstitutional in 1935. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theetatkuldiloke Posted February 29 Share #98 Posted February 29 Yes it was actually not '28-dated (my bad)! Thank you both everforward and 3mxd for the correction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
