I have seen that before, a long time ago though. I have an excellent memory…..it is just very short,ha! If I remember correctly, I think this is a Union label or stamp of some sort. You see cloth Union labels sewn inside the pockets of some A2’s, (I have a Fried Ostermann with one). I think these stamps replaced that in later years, but the stamp is a different design than the cloth ones. I am happy to be corrected though.

So the term Deapertment of defense spurred a memory from my gun collecting days. The DoD stamped an eagle with three stars above it on the stocks of M1 Garands that had been inspected and accepted. Can’t upload a
Photo of one at the
Moment but if you Google did stamp on Garand stock you will see one. Looks a lot like this stamp on your jacket. I think this was happening late WWII and post war.

They are not that uncommon. I have some examples with that stamp or a different one. It is probably some kind of production acceptance thing. Normally you don't see them because people don't take pics inside the map pocket all the time, but they are there in many cases.

Hi Jorgen,
Thanks a lot, I was assuming that these were acceptance stampings, but asking more experienced collectors here is always the right thing. If I can ask you one thing. Have you found these markings on jackets used by USN or USMC? Also on what contract jackets [from what years]? This one from my picture was from the Korean war era flight jacket. Thanks for your help!

I'm with the other guys, it looks like a DoD Acceptance Stamp. Round and square variants were used in their Era.

You got me there Erwin. Honestly, I don't remember which contract nor year the jackets are. I will check some of my jackets sooner than later and will keep you updated. I have over 70 G-1's and my memory fails with those specific details but certainly I have seen that stamp in some examples...
Wow 70 G1 Jorge, you have a separate building for the collection?You got me there Erwin. Honestly, I don't remember which contract nor year the jackets are.

Absolutely, they don't fit in a normally closet, and it would be risky as well.

I was checking some jackets last night. USN and USMC use the same G-1.
