Is This WWII?

Sorry, not very up on Navy stuff :)

Might be a Post-WW2 1947-48 US Navy bullion rate.

Is there a label on the inside? That’s one of the things that can be used, depending on label text & style.

Agreed, the Driver/Equipment Operator specialty mark puts it 1948 or later, but other than that it could be '60s or even into the '70s. Very possibly service in Korea or Vietnam for this Seabee chief.

The label is unmarked. Appreciate the information though.

I’m guessing your using the applied chevron crown those continued to be made until at least after 1954. I have a left arm SMC crown with applied chevrons, and, the rate was disestablished in 1948, then reestablished in 1954. My dad had a set of blues made in Hong Kong in 1965. They used applied chevron crown those and hashmarks. And, I found a set in the Navy Exchange in Sasebo Japan, in 1983.

Excellent background. I'm going to sell this, not sure the jacket has much value. The rate seems cool though.

The bullion rate is going to make it more expensive. The jacket itself doesn't have much value
