Looks like a great find to me. Interested in selling any? If so PM me as I would like a nice armored piece.
A very nice group. Congratulations!

Hi there
Nice grouping.
I believe these are from the 6th Armd Div.(Training) Fort Leonard wood c1951-54 period during the Korean war.
The Ike looks like a 1950's variation , straight arms -see if you can locate the dated instruction tab.
The corporal chevrons OD on blue twill are from 1951- to 54 period and the SSI are all on the then assigned "current unit."
The 6th AD was part of a major US build up for a reserve training force and a number of Armored , Infantry and Airborne div were reactivated during the period.

Knowledge is power, guard it well.
Do I read correctly $15?
US uniform is a bit out of my comfort zone but I doubt you could find a single one of those shirts for that money here in UK so I suppose you have a bargain there.
If you intend to move them on, as much as I dislike Ebay for this sort of item, it seems that 7 individual sales would be something of a "no brainer"

Thanks guys comments much appreciated!Phill will look at the tags on the Ikes and see if any dates.Mark yeah need to sell 4 shirts and keep one,will have to think on the Ikes but you are right ebay will work!
looks like that corporal was sneaky and got himself officer shirts!
Well, in every army I think there are examples of rule bending in training and base establishments. As the saying goes "In the rear with the gear"by reneblacky

Good call Rene
Begs the question how did the individual get away with it.
An eagle eyed SGM should of picked that up!
