Does anyone have a pic of what the drawstring looks like on a Jumper?? Thanks Jerry I do not, but it was just a length of black cotton twill tape. My dad, who was issued that type said that most guys just pulled the draw string out and tossed it. It didn’t serve any use, so not needed. He liked it. He would snug it up just a bit and use the bloused jumper as a pocket to carry more smokes or such.

29navy Posted February 5 #31 Posted February 5 All the tags. The contract number is 96657 but it is not an NXSX number. I'm thinking it is a Pre-WWII - pre-942-ish contract.

I have to look at them more closely Thanks Jerry 13 hours ago, sigsaye said: Check the stars on the collar. Every pre we2 dress blue jumper I’ve seen had hand embroidered stars on the collar.

Ok so I checked the stars on 2 jumpers quick Jumper No 1 in my pics with the goofy SSi alignment looks to be hand embroidered but has a 44 tag
Panzerjunky Posted February 6 Author #37 Posted February 6 Jumper Number 2 is a 50s to 60s Seafarer Does anyone have a pic of what a machine sewn star looks like?? Again, I can't thank all of you enough for this crash course on Navy regalia. Thanks again Jerry
