warguy Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share #26 Posted September 17, 2019 Beast I echo, a fantastic article and thanks for sharing. From what I gather, I think my coat more closely matches the 1900 pattern. It still has some variance, including the pocket flap size and shape most notably as well as the high collar (mine is measuring in at about 2 1/4 inches tall). In general, most of the description of the 1900 coat closely matches, and I am leaning toward this one being made maybe in theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warguy Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share #27 Posted September 17, 2019 Thought I would post some close ups of the previously posted photo in my collection to just enlarge a couple of figures. Love the screen vent campaign hat on the lap of the seated officer. I think this was a pattern 1902 if I recall correctly and mainly worn by the Army, but you do see some Marines using them.

warguy Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share #28 Posted September 17, 2019 It seems to me the standing Marine far right second photo above has pocket flaps similar in design to my tunic. Seems like a higher collar as well but tough to tell. I thought there was a lower pocket peaking through but once blown up I am not so sure.

US Victory Museum Posted September 17, 2019 Share #31 Posted September 17, 2019 Thought I would post some close ups of the previously posted photo in my collection to just enlarge a couple of figures. Love the screen vent campaign hat on the lap of the seated officer. I think this was a pattern 1902 if I recall correctly and mainly worn by the Army, but you do see some Marines using them. The screen vent campaign hat is the 1899 pattern (spec 480). The subsequent campaign hats had the five pointed star vent holes until their replacement by the ubiquitous service hat of 1912 we recognize by its "Montana Peak."

warguy Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share #32 Posted September 17, 2019 Thanks for the correction...1899 pattern for screen vent. Was the star vent the 1902 pattern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAST Posted September 18, 2019 Share #33 Posted September 18, 2019 Folks, thank you for the kind words on my article. I think this period in US military history, especially for the Marines, is fascinating and am really looking forward to getting Alec's book!

Dirk Posted September 21, 2019 Share #34 Posted September 21, 2019 Wanted to add these two early Pattern Khaki shots to the thread...they are from a detail of a larger image taken in the PI before August 1903, when the Marine returned stateside. So again that 1st pattern field uniform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

militaryoutfitter Posted November 9, 2020 Share #36 Posted November 9, 2020 Your photo early in the post is not Daubenfeld, it's one of his buddies. I have his photos and written/printed material, and that photo looks nothing like him. That's why the tunic does not match. If you PM me in a few days, when I'm home, i can give you more bio and service info on Perry Daubenfeld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warguy Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share #37 Posted November 9, 2020 That's really interesting. I look forward to seeing what you have! Thanks for replying to this post. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksmith Posted November 9, 2020 Share #38 Posted November 9, 2020 Capt. Daubenfeld has an entry on Findagrave, as seen here: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/143780190/perry-daubenfeld It contains the below photo, in case it is any help. I do acknowledge that members add those entries, and they may not always be 100% accurate, but I find them to be really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warguy Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share #39 Posted November 9, 2020 Thanks much Blacksmith. He sure looks like the same man in the photo I have in this grouping, in post #2. Outfitter, I am really interested to see what you might have. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerialbridge Posted December 18, 2022 Share #41 Posted December 18, 2022 Marines in a battleship detachment, 1901. They both look old to be privates, but I know not uncommon back then. Also, interesting that their trousers would have been considered bell bottoms in the 60-70s. Would this uniform also have been in use during the Span Am War?

Would this uniform also have been in use during the Span Am War? Yes great image and yes, this uniform was worn into the Span Am war. Especially evident is the “roll” collar on the Marine to the right. That “droop” style or rolled edge on the collar was changed in 1898 (I have an 1898 dated labeled coat in my collection with the straight collar, illustrating that both styles could be seen in 1898 and probably a few years following. Thanks for contributing to this thread. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
