Original WWII USMC Canvas Leggings | Size 4 | Dated 1941 w/ Two Names
Description
Early-war Marine Corps history stamped into canvas.
-
USMC Contract: Unlike standard US Army M1938 leggings, these feature the correct Marine Corps pattern, shade of tan canvas, and the distinct single-digit sizing system (Size 4).
-
Pre-Pearl Harbor Provenance: The interior retains its original depot inspector stamp dated August 1941, meaning these leggings were issued just as the USMC was rapidly expanding before entering WWII.
-
The Story of Two Marines: The inside clearly displays the lineage of this pair, featuring the names of two users: RENNA . F. and VALLEY . A. J..
-
Condition: Beautifully field-worn with no canvas rot or tears. The under-boot straps and brass buckles are fully intact and functional. All lacing eyelets and hooks are complete. Laces are missing but easily replaced with period-correct cord.
