WW1 1st Battalion 6th Marines Overcoat and Patch 1918-1919 3-L Stripe

Description

As pictured, 1
st
Battalion, Sixth MarinesOvercoat, size 3-L, with 1918-19 QM stamp, shoulder patch, rear belt, and one six-monthoverseas service stripe on left sleeve. OD wool lining
NICE supple wool; warmest coat that I’ve ever worn.
I am 5’11,” approx. 165 lbs. (40 Reg.) Fits well over a shirt,but with more layers/anything heavier, probably for a 38.
Shoulders: 18 ½”
Under arms: 20 ½”
Length from top of collar (back): 50 ½”
Since nothing this old is “perfect,” as you can see:
there are loose threads around the button-holes
better repair can be done to the inside shoulder/arm-hole area
the one neck-hook (right side if you’re wearing it) has been re-inforced by dark thread to keep it in place
there is wear to the neck area
a button is lacking to secure a flap that connects at the bottom of the coat.
a button is lacking on the right side to which the mouth-guard flap would attach (was there a need for this button since the flap already attaches to the other?).
Tobacco odor present.
Otherwise, looks great & if you are into this, you know more about it than I do, so ask away.
Thank you for looking!
