Original era manufacture. An issue quality set, with numerous names stenciled inside the shoulder sleeve lining, and waistband of the trousers. One matching set was O F SANDERS. Machine sewn corporal chevrons, and a hand sewn cotton twill 1st Marine Division shoulder sleeve insignia. Sharpshooter badge pinned to the left front of the coat. All buttons are present, with a few scattered moth bites, nothing terrible. Size about a 36 regular.Light blue wool trousers with NCO stripe on the outside seam, and a non regulation "cool guy" piping to the top edge of the hip pocket. Waistband measures 28 inches, with an inseam measurement of 29 inches. Again, minor scattered moth bites, but nothing terrible. Overall a nice clean WWII era uniform set. An old Marine once told me, once you put on that uniform, you were instantly a gentleman.
