Man, you have quite the collection of these sweetheart pillow covers.  I love all the colors and names of places that have since disappeared after the war.  It's astonishes me how vibrant the colors are after all these years, other than the fact I think most never had a pillow in them and were folded up and put away in someones dresser over the years, thus protecting them from the suns effects.  Thank you for showing all of your covers.  I know I enjoyed looking at all of them.  -- Matt

Thanks guys, I got this at a thrift shop type of store here in Reading Pa.  I had it on this  site before but forgot to ask what M style it was.  I saw the lady handing it in but didn’t get a chance to ask about it’s history.  It did have a this WW1 wool coat with it (see pics).  The coat’s label seems period the the war so one would think the tunic would be also. I have added the label pic to the tunic that i forgot in the original post.  The name attached to the tunic Winslow Henkle) doesn’t show up on any WW1 list I found.  Hope those helps with some more IDing.  Thanks             

Just had a question posed that color could actually be dark blue which is possible, and if that is the case it would be for the National Guard Bureau which Bureau which would also be an extraordinary discovery.

I have another question about the RPPC:   Is it indicated on the card itself that it is a picture of a funeral service…?   Is it possible that it may be a photo of an outdoor church service…?   I say this because there are palm trees in the photo— the 29th had leave in some southern French cities…..

If dark blue than would be National Guard Bureau which would be an equally excellent discovery.

I posted in the Base section on Fort Mojave and have dug every rabbit hole I can find online. Do any of you have info you can add? If so please post in the Base section.

Not sure you will actually find any markings, not everything was marked and it does have the US Jeff Depot tag which would mean this is a US issue. In no case whatsoever could I see a foreign made saddle being repaired in the United States, what would be the point? It's a U.S. saddle just not sure of the actual model.

Thanks Kurt! Was glad to find my second 36th set so quickly after my first.

Private purchase Enlisted man's uniform coat, WW1 style. At the end of hostilities many enlisted men went out and had a private tailored uniform made, for a smarter appearance or perhaps their issued coat had become too worn.  As a long-time collector of WW1 material, I have even seen WW1 style uniform made into 1940's to wear at veterans' parades. The latest made example I have seen had a union label and "copyright 1949". Just because it has the high collar and WW1 buttons and insignia doesn't necessarily mean it dates from WW1 (1914-1919). Dated contracted made and issued coats are your best bet for an enlisted example.
