tthen Posted March 22, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 22, 2020 I found 2 different Navy garments with the NXs prefix only. I couldn't find anything on Dustin's list. I attacted two pictures. I'm looking for a time period, I suspect pre WW2. Thanks and stay safe Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted March 22, 2020 Share #2 Posted March 22, 2020 For some reason I had long ago got the notion that the NXs numbers are in line with the NXsX numbers http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1590-us-navy-contracts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustin Posted March 22, 2020 Share #3 Posted March 22, 2020 Sometimes the contractor failed to apply the last letter. In this case, it's important to know the relation of the article. To my memory, all clothing was Supplies and Accounts, that would be designated with X. So add the letter X to your contract and you'll have it. I've noticed this lack of the last letter on early procurements c.1942 era and that is the time frame of your two garments. I'd date your garments to about the January-March 1942 time frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
