Hi,

I bought these items on ebay a week or two ago. There was more of his uniform up for sale but settled for this one. I won his pistol holster also, in the auction it said it was for a .45 cal. The jacket and holster has his name on. The holster had a tag on it. Here's a link with a little information a forum member gave me. Can anyone find any other info on this guy.

Nice. We do know these were authorized during WW2 only, so he was not on the ill-fated USS Thresher that sank later on.

Navyman, Thats a nice grouping... Too bad they were split apart though. I had been watching these auctions and wondered if anyone of the forum ended up with them. I have a just post war CPO uniform to a Thresher veteran that did 15 war patrols. i've done a bit of research on the ship. They had some interesting patrols! FYI they were attacked by a DE and a Patrol plane's depth Bombs on Dec 7&8th 1941 off Pearl trying to return to base. She was also an escort to the Enterprise and Hornet during the Tokoyo Raid.

Thanks for the information, Yes it was a shame as you probably know there was two more gray jackets and a khaki jacket and his undress whites when he was a first class.

Thanks Dan,

I thought about going after that khaki cpo jacket. Probably should have, OH WELL. I went after this one because I thought this one out of the three gray ones look in the best shape even though the buttons are missing. I have some but I will have to find the pocket buttons.

Dan,

That's O.K. you don't have to be sorry it's a auction and besides no one knows who bidding on the items since ebay hides the handle names.

I have someone else looking but would be interested if you have some .

Thanks,

Jason
