      Out thrifting today and picked up a mess of pre 1959 chevrons and hash marks / service stripes. My question is, what is the difference in the size? I mean, I thought they were usually big and long and should appear to practically wrap around the lower sleeve. These are smaller. Where and when would they have been worn? I don't think they are for female Marine uniform.

      We have this turret punch in the shop where I work. US marked in several places and unit marked to the 336th Aviation Co, It still works fine!

      It's from the AN/TRC-2 radio TM from April 1944.

      Thanks so much for all that... I just recently learned we'd sent USSR some of our Jeeps at one point or another (from the new Tom Hanks WWII television series) when they needed some help back when. I wonder if any of them are still rolling along in Ivan's care...

      SWEET!!!! Great score! Finding out whose it is would be icing on the cake. I hope it is eventually ID'ed.

      Uniform Change 15 apparently covered the hats for the Yeomen. https://www.history.navy.mil/research/library/online-reading-room/title-list-alphabetically/w/womens-uniform-1918.html   HATS 267. To be straight-brimmed sailors, of navy-blue felt or white rough flat straw, shaped to conform to following dimensions: Brim 2-3/4" from crown to outer edge. Crown to be 3-3/4" high, 6 1/4" wide at top and 6-3/4" at bottom, 7-3/4" long at top and 8 1/4" at bottom. To be ordered to fit head size of person wearing it.     Except for the chin strap (that wasn’t actually required by regulations, apparently), the dimensions would have been in conformity with the M1866 USN Officer’s Straw Hat, further verification that it truly had settled into a standard form by then.

      I realize how it could appear that way. However, there is a stamp with the last four of the service number in the trunk and that number is stamped inside each piece of apparel in the trunk. As for the other items though, I guess there isn’t anything that proves their connection.
