Hello all, today I received this jacket as an early birthday gift. I’m really happy about owning this since I’ve always liked the look of bullion patches and the two on this jacket are great. Overall it’s in great condition but it is missing the pants and one of the collar disks, getting replacements for both of those shouldn’t be very hard to find. So far I haven’t been able to find much on the original owner besides his name on a list of men who enlisted from NY state and his obituary from the 2000’s. I’d love to find out more such as his job and if he was issued any awards as the full complete uniform would make a great display. If anyone knows of any good archive research services please comment them below. Thank you for reading!
