This uniform was given to me by my wife's parents with the understanding that it will be well taken car of and NEVER SOLD! i agreed! it has been in there family for aver 100 years.they are moving into a retirement home that is a lot smaller than there house and don't have the room for a lot of things.my plan is to put it in a shadow box frame and hang it on the wall for all to see rather than stuff it in a closet.
Thanks for looking. And any comments positive or negitive are welcome.

I also have a artillary shirt that will post later.

Man...that is really nice. Take good care of that...very well maintained piece of history.

I have a family uniform(s) as well, but it was my grandfathers WW2 U.S. Navy uniform..blues and whites...My wife is having one of them put in a shadow box for me (can't wait to get it back)....I also have pictures of my grandfather in the uniforms, his dogtags, and a ship diary that was kept.......I agree with Montana Jim...get all that info you can...not only does it make for a nice piece of history to go along with the uniform...the information may be lost forever if you don't....Pass that history on for future generations...

Very nice! :thumbsup:
 

Awesome pieces of preserved history! Went to one museum in Missouri that had an old CW flag preserved behind a glass case that was faded. They also requested no flash pictures as well.
