Thanks Kat!  The scarf did come with the uniform grouping.

a few recent additions, The bandages and patient tags in the OCD kit are WWII dated 

Found this old thread while searching , wow some of you guys have some terrific uniforms. Thought I'd share my modest recent purchase.  Green jacket to Ralph Frederick Epping. Newspaper articles and obituary say he was a fighter pilot operating from Aircraft Carrier. Doesn't look like any high end awards but I just love what it is , a Naval aviator who participated in the pacific ww2 I figure being a fighter pilot and the later period he was active he would most likely flown Hellcats , maybe Corsair ? but I believe the majority of fighters from Carriers were Hellcats. Hopefully I will be able to confirm what aircraft he flew. I love how these jackets have those nice initials tags sewn in them as well as their name tags.  pics are from the ebay sale where I bought it.  

You might put it on the sister site if you are a member there. They might ID it or at least confirm the buttons. AI responses draw info from all mentions of a name including unknowledgeable sources so...  Clearly this is not WWII era. JMO, Dave

Thank you for the information and link to that post.... I am leaning towards the Inf. school DI myself.   

Always nice to add to the collection, especially when its decently priced

X-ray testing is better,  acid testing will leave scar

I obtained this some time ago with the hopes his signature was real.  After comparing his known signature to the one on my presentation I believe it is.  Perhaps he signed this at a militaria show, who knows.  In any case, I thought it was pretty cool.  RIP Marine Corp Sniper Mawhinney.     Charles Benjamin Mawhinney (February 23, 1949 – February 12, 2024) was a United States Marine Corps (USMC) sniper who holds the Corps' record for the most confirmed kills with 103, and 216 probable kills in 16 months during the Vietnam War.    To learn more go here =>  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Mawhinney     The other signature on this item next to the words "Semper Fi Marine!" which I believe to be real is Oliver North. Oliver Laurence North (born October 7, 1943) is an American political commentator, television host, military historian, author, and retired United States Marine Corps lieutenant colonel.   To learn more go here =>  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_North                                         Lt. Col. Oliver L. North

CAVCON   Do believe the Infantry School DI will be worn as we see it being worn the decade before  in the 60s.   Check out this definitive topic on OSC Benning of those days,
