Help - describe this Army Jacket

[Murpheeee]

My wife is clearing out her closet and was going to list this army jacket on Ebay:

People seem to go into great detail in their army gear listings.

Anyone know how to desribe it?
Do markings mean anything?

She bought it in a thrift shop about 10 years ago.

Looks Korea or older... I'm betting on the 20's-30's...

is that an infantry patch?

Your best bet would be going to an army surplus store and seeing if they can identify it.

You could also try the Glocktalk forums. You got some pretty knowledgable people there.

The patch is for the 7th Army, and the rank on it is corporal.

And judging by the style and buttons, i would say this is from WWII or early 50's

Call it an Ike jacket and people will know what it is.

I looked at those, specifically C34. The dude that wore that coat saw a lot of stuff during WWII. I cant help to think on who he was and what happend to him.
