Women's Dress Uniform Era?

[MT247]

Hi

Just found this 96 Infantry division officers uniform at and estate sale that belonged to Roberta Fisher and was wondering if someone could look at the contract tag and tell me when it was used. My first thoughts were Vietnam but not sure. Have not seen this kind of contact number before. Thanks for the help.

The contract number in the Garrison Cap is from a 1960 dated contract. So anytime after 1960.

Thanks for the help, I am trying to research as much as possible but tough considering it is Vietnam or later.

I would say early 60's at the latest: I'd expect to see a DSA contract number on ones made during the Vietnam War,

That’s why I was confused, I haven’t seen a contract number like this one.

Used through 1961. Here's some contract dating info I've posted elsewhere on the forum and always worth repeating: I keep it in a notepad text file on my computer that I can easily access when needed:

 

Military procurement was done through the Defense Supply Agency 1962-1977 and all contracts had a DSA prefix. The dates were by fiscal year...July 1 through June 30. Fiscal year 1962 had a DSA 1 prefix and E-62 suffix. 1963 and 1964 were the same but substitute "63" or "64" in the suffix. Fiscal year 1965 will just have the DSA 1 prefix and no date code. Fiscal year 1966 will have a DSA 100 prefix and no date code. Starting in 1967 there will be a DSA 100 prefix plus a two digit date code. So, for example, fiscal year 1968 contracts will have a DSA 100-68 prefix.

After doing more research, I think this jacket was older than I thought and must have belonged to Connie Fisher who probably changed her name to Sekora after she married Donald who was part of my other thread. I wonder if they met in the military as both were in the same division at around the same time. This has turned into a good research project.
