Large Medals: Two official large medals mounted cleanly over the left pocket.
Included Official Uniform Garment Bag:This sale lot includes the officer's original black vinyl travel garment bag used to preserve the uniform for nearly four decades. It features a heavy-duty vertical center zipper, a clear plastic identification window, and the iconic gold-stenciled "U.S. NAVY" logo printed alongside the official warfare community pins (Surface, Submarine, and Aviation crew wings).
Condition Details:This complete grouping is in excellent vintage condition. The bright white twill fabric of the tunic is structurally immaculate—no snags, stains, or fraying. The interior lining is completely clean, and the owner's name remains perfectly legible inside the collar. The garment bag is fully intact, and the center zipper runs smoothly.
