I have owned tons of WW2 Navy uniforms and groupings but this is the first Merchant Marine grouping that I have ever handled. Some is original WW2, some a few post war items and lots of documents. The jumper is 1943 dated and in mint condition, the large color crossing the equator document is WW2 dated as are a few documents. His dress uniform I could not date, is in excellent condition and has bullion anchor patches on each sleeve and is the jacket and pants. There are two berets as well. Also are post war documents and some copies of his wartime papers, some post war Merchant Marine newspapers and some copies of wartime documents regarding his service at Anzio on board a vessel. The medals appear to be post WW2 copies made for the Merchant Marine. Also includes post war Elk Lodge and other fraternal organization documents. Just a neat group with lots of research done already! I do the best I can to describe each item and take great pictures in natural sunlight when possible but please understand that generally I deal with artifacts that have seen military service, are sometimes over 100 years old, have survived sometimes more than one World War and years of storage. They are not brand new, off the shelf items with no defects, scratches, nicks etc. If you have any problem with the item(s) just send me a message and we will work something out.
