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.

36th Fighter-Bomber Squadron "Mike"-Flight. Korea 1953.

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. 

recall the M1912 had tapered/pointed shoulder straps and 2 rows of stitching on the cuff about 3 inches above the the bottom of the sleeve. Also, the color was a bit more tan in Color compared to the M1917 which had rounded shoulder straps and darker olive green.    This looks more like a tailored style uniform and hard to tell if its a more refined wool. The summer cotton uniforms didnt have a liner. 

Hello everyone,  could someone please tell me if this is an M1912 or M1917 or something else M wise?  Also is this considered a summer tunic since it seems not wool.  Thanks Jim C.
