Up for sale is an authentic, named World War I United States Army double-breasted wool overcoat. This fantastic historical piece belonged to John G. Lewis of the 120th Field Artillery Regiment, which served as part of the famous 32nd Infantry Division (\"Red Arrow\" Division) during the First World War.
Condition & Features:
Exterior & Material: The overcoat is constructed from heavy Olive Drab (O.D.) wool and features a classic double-breasted front with darkened metal US Army eagle buttons. The large collar can be worn folded down or flipped up for warmth. The rear of the coat features a traditional half-belt secured by two matching eagle buttons.
Patches & Insignia: The left shoulder features the iconic red arrow insignia of the 32nd Infantry Division stitched directly into the wool. Below the division patch is a single faded red discharge chevron. The lower left sleeve displays two gold V-shaped overseas service chevrons pointing downward, representing 12 months of service in the combat theater.
Identification & Tag: The interior tan lining is prominently marked with the veteran\'s information: \"John G Lewis / BATTERY C / 120 F.A.\". Tucked into the lining is the original woven Quartermaster tag marked \"NEW YORK DEPOT, Q.M.C.\" with a contract date of \"July 3, 1918\" and a faded red size stamp.
Interior & Wear: The interior is half-lined with tan cotton/canvas material and includes two internal pockets. The overcoat displays genuine, honest field wear, including visible age discoloration, soiling, and staining throughout the interior lining and pockets. The fabric immediately surrounding the metal hook-and-eye closures at the collar is noticeably worn and frayed.
