I've been given a large container of effects from the estate of a Marine veteran. Looking at his handbooks, it appears he served in WWII and the Korean War. I don't know if he was a career Marine.
I need help identifying the various items--holster, buttons, uniforms, patches galore, etc.

I'm a Army veteran but spent alot of time attached to Marine units during my time in service. I also collect WW2 items so bring on the pictures.

Jack sure was a Marine. If he checks in I'll bet he will reply.

JACK! HONEY! As you were!
Thanks for the offer. I got slowed down today, but tomorrow I'll post pictures, first of the uniform, and then of a whole little pile of patches I don't "get." Thank you for offering to help. And welcome back.
