This is a US Model 1918 style winter uniform worn by the US Army during World War I. It features the four pocket design with epaulets. The five button coat has the subdued US eagle buttons, with six smaller buttons of the same type for the pockets and epaulets. The coat size buttons are back marked "BUTTON WORKS NEW YORK NY". The smaller buttons are all back marked "BUTTON WORKS NY". The coat is fully lined and has one inner pocket. There are no stamped or hand written names anywhere inside the tunic. The left sleeve has an 82nd Division patch sewn on it at the shoulder. The re is no red discharge stripe sewn on below the division patch. Above the left sleeve trim are two gold chevrons of bullion, indicating one year of overseas service. The left collar disc is bomb of the Ordnance branch, the right disc is the standard US. There are no ribbons or medals on the tunic. The chevrons of a Sergeant are sewn on the right sleeve. Unfortunately this tunic has it's fair share of moth damage, the majority of it along the left sleeve seam. Fortunately it is on the reverse side and is not quite as noticeable. There is also damage on both lower pockets and on the back of the tunic, yet it still displays very well. There is also a ragged hole along the hem on the left rear of the tunic. There is a makers label sewn onto the hem of the tunic from PROSER BROS of New York. The trousers are from Henry Sonneborn & Company of Baltimore, Maryland. The Quarter Master Depot tag is sewn on the back side of the right front pocket, and shows the contract date of July 1, 1918. The trousers are in good condition. There is one small moth hole in the front of the trousers. The laces for the bottom of the legs are present. This is a very nice example of a US Model 1918 uniform worn by an Ordnance NCO of the 82nd "All American" Division. It displays well on a mannequin and will look great in any war room!
