Hello all, I just got this as and another jacket as an early birthday gift and am really excited to finally get a US Army WW1 uniform (well part of one). Overall I’d say its in good condition as every example I’ve come across is usually full of moth holes and falling apart, though there’s a small tear on the collar and a tiny moth hole on the front bottom right pocket. The top button did fall off but I’m in possession of it and am planning to get it put back on by a tailor. The patches are in really nice shape too none of them are falling off or are moth eaten. I’d love to find pants that go with the jacket for a display but I’d imagine they’re hard to find and expensive. From what I can tell the soldier was a mess sergeant that served in the 7th engineer regiment which was a part of the 5th division and was over seas for a year and a half. One thing I find weird is that the engineer collar disk is labeled 7B which is different from all the other engineer disks I’ve seen since they only have a number and no letter. I was wondering what does the "B" in 7B mean? If anyone has anymore info on it as I’m sure I’ve gotten something wrong with the insignia please let me know. Thank you for reading!
