The tough part of being a collector is having to pick and choose what you want to collect then sticking with it. One finds out quickly that one can't collect everything and this auction was one of those times. I've been looking for a good 30's Dress white Navy jumper for awhile now, being a fan of The Sandpebbles and all. This beauty appeared and when I ran the name turned out to be a Corpsman stationed in China with the 4th Marines. It seriously doesn't get better than that, truly an end all be all uniform! But unfortunately the price was rightly a little stiff and the uniform is somewhat out of my collection focus, luckily a fried of mine exclusively collects Navy Corpsman items and quickly purchased it. Seriously one of the most beautiful Navy uniforms I have ever seen with a 1930s China Marine connection. It definitely went to a good home.
