Nothing looks right on that one to me.  I'd agree - repro.

Hi! Was this grouping named? I just won the whole outfit on eBay and somebody told me that it belongs to WAC and is likely a discrepancy in the Moran book about World War II, Women Marines. She showed me a reference. No I am in search of proof that Marines wore this. maybe Women Marines used the exact WAC uniform before the peanut suit. 

This jacket looks like it’s made very well but when I searched for information on the I.M.E. Sportswear Co. it said they weren’t one of the companies that made Tankers during WWII. Maybe they did post WWII or for the civilian/commercial market?   Regards, Frank

According to the Encyclopedia of United States Army Insignia and Uniforms, this is the dress blues design made in 1931, influenced by World War One uniform style and interwar uniform ideas.      

This photo shows the buildings below the bluff the is fort on. According to the survey map the building next to the bluff should be the blacksmiths shop. That beach should be were the Mojaves attacked the pioneers who cut down the Cottonwood trees to raft across the river. In other photos this location is below the water tower and is the site of Beales crossing. The ferry road I saw is located center right of the photo at that inlet.

I went down a rabbit hole looking for historic images to get a feel for the fort as it was. The photo's like all good photo's tell a story when you look.  This is what I found......

. Knitters in search of the right colour.   The ladies knitting the straps for holding on the shovel and axe wanted to know what colour wool to use, I sent them photos of the straps in situ on my Jeep,  however I explained that over the years mine had faded with sun and rain, they asked what did they start out as.  So I said I would get an unopened set of straps out my spares, photograph and send them.  I explained that colours are like a bucket of slimy frogs, and if I learnt anything over the years uniform is anything but uniform.  Note the colour variation in these two straps that came out the same box, the metalwork is unpainted and coated in cosmoline dip.                Norman D.

I am clearing out an estate and the owner collected many many knives.  I have been reviewing all the previous posts on how to spot a replica and believe this to be a fake.  However, I am not at all an expert and would like to see what you all think as a check.     Thanks!

. Hi earlymb,   Dutch was a very difficult language for me.   However I have travelled the world using English and when appropriate German " Ich liebe dich, mein Liebschein ', always got me where I wanted to go. !!!!   Norman D. Landing, Forum Normandy Correspondent, 26 May  2O26.   ..
