Yes, the Marines got the leftovers it always seemed and outdated gear. This one's early though, I'd bet on it. I know the watermark says USMC but I have my doubts...unless you can show me something else.

Jim-- I believe your correct on that one, the tie was optional based on the local commander. I did love that uniform.
