Quick reply - Uniform is most likely WW2 - 1950'- if tunic buttons are dark bronze in color. Buttons are black. Bottom pockets are typically billowed on officer uniforms.m,Applied eagle globe and anchor lapel devices are mid 1950 - current if black in color. they are officers insignia if the fouled rope is wire. Fourragère, is correct for 6th Marine Regiment but is on incorrect side of uniform. Captain insignia is correct from pre ww2 - current. SACO is the manufacturer for all of my officers dress uniform 1970 - 2000. USMC dress uniforms have very few changes from 1950's to current. Lots of this info on English Wikipedia

The uniform is post-1956, most likely post-1960. The EGA on the tags is the Pattern 1956, which did not see widespread implementation until 1960, though there was some use in the late 50s.
Captain bars are correct, officers never wear subdued (black) on their dress or service uniforms, only their camouflage utilities when in a field environment.
French Fourragere is authorized for members of the 5th and 6th Marine Regiments only, and only worn when the Marine is a member of one of those units.
Never try to date insignia by the clutches...they fall off all the time and are constantly replaced.

Great info given by Brig.
The maker of the captain bars is "Wolf-Brown, Inc., Los Angeles, CA. (W22)"
