Comments from the Curator:
Vietnam conflict period uniforms are increasing in popularity and price each day. Female uniforms it should be noted are
much more rare than most male types. This beautiful black uniform is impossible to improve upon. It's provenance is documented
by it's accurate tag dating. The fact that it is also named and serial numbered inside make this uniform a great find, and both
easy to research. What a wonderful project it would be to trace the history of this very high ranking WAVE Woman Officer.
An experienced and knowledgable uniform collector would know the importance and value of this uniform's dating, condition,
rank grade, and female classification. Here is a chance to own a great uniform at a less than market price!
