scottiques Posted December 5, 2019 Share #1 Posted December 5, 2019 Here is a cdv sized tintype of an early USMC Officer: Believe that the uniform would put this in the mid 1870s-- a time when the marine corps consisted of about 2,000+- men. Thanks for looking. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Hudson Posted December 17, 2019 Share #8 Posted December 17, 2019 mid 1870s-- a time when the marine corps consisted of about 2,000+- men.

scottiques Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share #9 Posted December 18, 2019 And only about 75 officers! http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/9349-usmc-force-sizes-how-rare-are-egas/ Thanks for looking Bob. I only have to eliminate 74 Marines to get an ID! Wish there were more published examples of Marine officers from this time period. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
