Women's Tie missing

[cpl liz]

I still have and can fit into my uniform (vietnam era). Missing tie so I have made a facsimile. Been searching for replacement approx. 10 years. Is there someone out there who can give me the correct tie dimensions (my fake is close but not quite right). My family currently has 3 generations of Marines, who march together on Memorial Day. I'm the only woman (I tell my Dad "you have 3 son's but I guess I'm the only "real man"" LOL) - Would really like to get the tie right. Thanks for any help.

Which unifrom are you speaking of?
Service "A", Dress "A"? ? ?

[cpl liz]

Service "A" The tie was green & looked like a bib. Thanks

These prices too should be cheaper than anyone else unless you get it free I know because I did alot of searching for my items and they were much cheaper, Good Luck.:flag:

If you are talking about the neck tab I have an extra one that I would be willing to work a deal with you on. Just send me a PM if you are interested.

Liz if that doesn't work out let me know and I'll get you one. The only requirement?

You post a pic of yourself in the correct uniform on your profile! :)

Between all of us here on this site, I think we can find one for you with no problem.

Semper Fi WM!

STILL NO TIE FOUND. Thank you for your replies. The problem is I'm older than my uniform & the woman's uniform was changed sometime in the late 1970's. Naval Exchange can't help, SGT Grit can't help, I really have been looking for 10 years. If anyone knows a woman who served during Vietnam, ask her if she still has her's and if she does could she give me width & length of both knot & "bib" parts. Thanks again.

Cpl Liz, I am working on finding you your necktab. I haven't forgotten.

[CdtWalker]

Have you tried looking on Ebay? Its a long shot, but with some of the uniforms that I have found on there in the past and I'm sure will pop up eventually.

[Sgt Leprechaun]

Cpl Liz, I believe we've found your necktab. Give my friend Jaroslav Jachman a line at jochman@yahoo.com. He can't post here because he's not a Marine, but he's a big time USMC collector, and found this:

I think that's what you are looking for.

Sent Liz an email. Hope it gets to her in time. Found this on Ebay.

Our Beloved Corps is definately in your blood!

I think she has disappered. I haven't heard from her in a while.

Anyone knows where I can get my hands on a old helmet, late 70's to early 80's and also from WWII?
