Could someone please tell me what I have here? I have no idea. Is it authentic? Would a museum want it?

United States Marine Corps Jacket, Lance Corporal Stripes on the arms. Check for labels on the inside that might show a date. Could be Vietnam era, maybe later. Probably authentic as I don't think they are valuable enough to reproduce. With the stain on the lapel, I don't think it would make a museum quality display.
One label has "pressing instructions ”, the other has the size & a long number sequence. There is also a name stamped on the inside. Thank you very much for your response.
Sorry for not getting back with you sooner. The long number you mention could be the 11 digit Federal Supply Number (SFS), used until about 1974, or the 13 digit National Stock Number (NSN), officially used on post 1974 items.
