    Default 1948 dated USMC dress uniform

    Hello everyone, I purchased this uniform at an antique store a few years ago and forgot about it until I was cleaning out my closet the last few days.
    Researching the owner J.E. Buice I have found that he was drafted into service 1943 at the age of 18, and through Findagrave.com I was able to find out that he quote "Served in several battles in the South Pacific, including the Philippines islands in WW2, and received many medals...". I haven't been able to find the full details of his service such as his division or awards and the uniform is missing its collar disks, I nonetheless still think it's a very cool item to own.
    As always please let me know what you think below!
