Thrifter_01 Posted August 4, 2022 Share #1 Posted August 4, 2022 Was lucky to get this uniform from the woodwork in an estate sale. The buttons are made of plastic with a star on the back, and it has a a sergeant rank on its right sleeve. Only saw part of it from the pictures shown, but was immediately struck by the bullion overseas and wound chevron. Also of note is how the 32nd patch was sewn on at an angle, and not straight up as I have seen with a few other examples. Sadly no identification or collar pins on it, but I'm more than happy to cross this off my bucket list!

Mr.Jerry Posted August 5, 2022 Share #2 Posted August 5, 2022 Nice find!- I think they refer to those buttons as "vegetable ivory"- and I agree unusual to see with the angled patch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marchville1918 Posted August 5, 2022 Share #3 Posted August 5, 2022 that is a very nice private purchase coat. there may be a tag with the soldier's name in one of the patch pockets or the inside pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did find the inside pocket, but there was sadly no name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwc271 Posted September 26, 2022 Share #5 Posted September 26, 2022 Very nice tunic! Great find! One thing though, I believe that the red chevron on the sleeve is a discharge chevron instead of a wound chevron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwc271 Posted September 26, 2022 Share #6 Posted September 26, 2022 Oops! I’m sorry, I didn’t see the pic of the actual wound chevron you posted. Cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
