USMC P-56 Utility Shirt (1958) | Martin Mfg. | Size 38 | Custom Modified
Description
We are offering an authentic Shirt, Man's, Utility, issued to the US Marine Corps in the late 1950s. This specific piece was manufactured on December 19, 1958, by Martin Mfg. Co..
The shirt is crafted from durable OG-107 Cotton Sateen. The left chest pocket features a crisp and bold EGA (Eagle, Globe, and Anchor) stencil with the USMC insignia.
Collector's Note: The back of the shirt features a horizontally sewn strip of camouflage fabric. This appears to be a genuine period "rigger" modification, likely used for training identification or a specific field role, adding a unique story and character to this garment.
