MINT STAR SPORTSWEAR G-1 1964

[Roughwear]

I recently acquired this beauty from a fellow collector in the UK. It's a mint Star Sportswear G-1 from the 0SA-1-3271-64-C, which dates from the 1964 fiscal year. There are absolutely no issues with this size 44 jacket, which belonged to LT. Colonel John A Justice of the US Marine Corps Reserve. The goatskin is supple with a great pebbly grain. The knits are perfect, as is the lining and the mouton. The workmanship on the jacket is superb. I would appreciate any help from members in finding about more about Col. Justice. My apologies for the indoor pics which are were not taken in natural light.

I like the comma on the nametag:

"Lt, Col" instead of "Lt. Col".

beautiful jacket. the 3 asian coins on the zipper pull indicate number of landings/tours on the Asian continent. an old USMC custom, maybe USN also?
