      combination of the camo and straight green would imply Vietnam era, the USMC "utilities" state side were OD greens, while in contry camo"s were issue. Around 1975-76 USMC went to issue camo's all around

      This photo came in a lot of WWII era photos...also shows this same Marine ckearly in a WWII USMC GREENS dress uniform with 2nd Marine shoulder patch, also wearing WWII Campaign ribbons.
      Your input is appreciated, however I disagree with about this being a Vietnam era uniform and photo....
