AUTHENTIC WWII–KOREAN WAR ERA U.S. NAVY UNIFORM GROUPING – STERLING INSIGNIA & SHORE PATROL ARMBAND – RARE COMPLETE SET

AUTHENTIC WWII–KOREAN WAR ERA U.S. NAVY UNIFORM GROUPING – STERLING INSIGNIA & SHORE PATROL ARMBAND – RARE COMPLETE SET For sale is a remarkably well-preserved and complete U.S. Navy enlisted uniform set, dating to the WWII–Korean War era. This is not a reproduction or a pieced-together costume — it’s a genuine naval uniform grouping from a time when craftsmanship, detail, and tradition were everything. This rare set includes: • 🦅 Sterling silver officer cap/collar insignia (pinback, marked STERLING on reverse — classic WWII style) • 🧥 U.S. Navy Dress Blue Jumper (Crackerjack top) – Petty Officer First Class, Aviation Machinist’s Mate rating badge, 3 service stripes, stars on flap, anchor buttons, excellent embroidery. • 👖 Matching Dress Blue Bell Bottom Trousers – 13-button fly, original anchor buttons, period-correct construction. • 🧢 Original “Donald Duck” Sailor Hat – Black wool cap with “U.S. NAVY” ribbon, leather sweatband, size 6¾. • 🪖 SP (Shore Patrol) Armband – Yellow felt lettering on dark backing. Highly collectible. • 🧭 Period-correct buttons and detailing throughout. ✨ Why this set stands out: • Original sterling insignia — not cheap modern pot metal. • Matching jumper and trousers in great shape. • Complete ensemble including hat and Shore Patrol brassard. • Fantastic display or reenactment piece — or centerpiece for a WWII–Korea militaria collection. 🧼 Condition: Gently worn vintage with expected age patina. Uniform fabric is in strong shape; stitching and patches remain intact. SP armband is vibrant. Insignia has beautiful aged patina — could be polished but best left as-is for collectors. 💰 Price: $1,500 (firm) This is a rare opportunity to own a full set in collectible condition — pieces like this don’t come together often. Individually, similar items can easily total this price, but sets like this are far more valuable to serious collectors. 📦 Local pickup or shipping available. Shipping will be carefully packed with archival-safe materials. #WWII #USNavy #Militaria #WW2 #KoreanWar #VintageMilitary #ShorePatrol #USN #SailorUniform #SterlingInsignia #MilitaryCollectibles #NavalHistory #AviationMachinistMate #OriginalNotRepro
