USMC WWII Marine Alpha uniform with black star on sleeve

[Philo]

The Alpha blouse from a WWII Marine Lt has a black star on it, in roughly the spot where service has marks would be. I've never seen this before. Doe anyone know what it signifies?

Are you sure that's Marine Corps and not Navy Aviation??

Naval Line officers have a five pointed star on their sleeve.

Similar to the one you show.
Can you PLEASE show a close up photo of the buttons on this jacket?

Good Deal Rene'
I don't have one, but I have a site saved that shows them.
Since you showed your Button,
I post this pic from this site. and in case Phil doesn't return , others can see what I am talking about.

US Navy Officer's Aviation Winter Working Uniform.

Here is the photo from that site showing the Forest Green uniform US Naval Aviators wore.



So Phil, It is Not a USMC Alpha dress Jacket.

It is missing a strip across the sleeve, Ensigns have 1 strip, But Not my specialty and I don't have an answer to that, Possibly a never issued jacket. Or a Naval Aviation Cadet??????
