US WWII C.B.I. Grouping for Officer-This grouping belongs to Captain F.E. Munich. It includes his private purchased dress jacket, private purchase (made in India) Ike jacket, a tie and a pair of issue trousers. In one of the pockets is a leather swatch with his name and rank at the time, “2nd. LT F.E. Munich”. The dress jacket is dated inside 10/26/42 and was produced by the firm of Rogers-Peet Co of New York. The label has the name and size (46 R) plus it says “Ft. Monmouth”. The jacket is produced in dark olive drab elastique wool. There is a four-button closure with the top three gilt finished metal with the army logo. The bottom one is bakelite. It is definitely a high-quality piece. The breast pockets are pleated with scalloped flaps while the hip pockets are plain with straight flaps. There is a belt of the same material. The upper lapels have silvered metal US ciphers while the lower lapels have signals flags. Each epaulet has a set of silvered metal captain bars. Each lower sleeve has a golden brown tresse. The left sleeve has an awesome, toned bullion China Burma India patch, wow! There are two ribbon bars above the left breast pocket. They are for the Asiatic Campaign with one bronze star, Victory medal, Armed Forces reserve and American Campaign. The interior is fully lined in bronze rayon that is in fine condition. There is a tailor tag in the neck and a pocket on the right side. Next is the “Ike” jacket, a fantastic, high quality private purchase example as well. As you can see, all of the insignia is BULLION! Wow! This is also produced in dark olive drab elastique wool. There is a five button bakelite closure with a strap that has a metal hook and loops closure at the waist. There are two pleated pockets with scalloped flaps. Bullion insignia consists of the captains’ bars, the signals flags, the US ciphers on the lapels and the CBI patch on the left sleeve. The interior is fully lined in gray cotton that is in fine condition. There is a tailor tag in the left inside pocket that reads Phelps $ Son Co. 15-11-45 followed by the size, 46 R and Capt. F. B. Munich (should be an “E” not a “B”). The trousers are your standard “pinks” and in great condition. They have the maker tag inside and are dated February 17, 1944. There is a tag that reads “Regulation Army Officers Trousers” as well. This is a great grouping that deserves to be researched!
