1923 PHOTO USS OKLAHOMA RIFLE PARTY FOOT LONG 2-PIECE 19 x 6 1/2 CAMP LEWIS. Amazing photo – USS OKLAHOMA BB-37 Crew st a rifle range – captioned “USS OKLAHOMA RIFLE PARTY CAMP LEWIS APRIL 1923″. Photo is in two parts with each being 9 1/2 x 6 1/2 for a total size of 19″ x 6 1/2″. USS Oklahoma (BB-37) was a Nevada-class battleship built by the New York Shipbuilding Corporation for the United States Navy, notable for being the first American class of oil-burning dreadnoughts. After the war, she served in both the United States Battle Fleet and Scouting Fleet. Oklahoma was modernized between 1927 and 1929. In 1936, she rescued American citizens and refugees from the Spanish Civil War. On returning to the West Coast in August of the same year, Oklahoma spent the rest of her service in the Pacific. Some sailors inside escaped when rescuers drilled holes and opened hatches to rescue them. Unlike most of the other battleships that were recovered following Pearl Harbor, Oklahoma was too damaged to return to duty.
1929 24th REGIMENT of FOOT BRITISH ARMY UNIFORM JACKET MAJOR CV KING. With pips on shoulders which read Tria Juncta in Uno (Latin for 3 joined in 1), the Order of Bath. It has original Hawkes & Co Ltd label on inner pocket, dated 1929, size 16? And with the soldiers name “Maj CV King”??? Found at an estate with a note stating it was a 24th Regt of Foot officers mess jacket. Some light exterior dimples on the collar. Inner lining has several small stained spots with holes near collar, otherwise very foos condition for almost 100 years of age. Chest is about 16″w and it measures 18 1/2″ from collar to bottom hem of tail. Failure to read full description may result in delays and misunderstandings. I do not set rates and can’t afford to absorb these costs, being a small operation.
