Is this an original ww2 fighting era p41, or is this a post ww2 p47? Im looking to buy an original p41.

Hi everyone,

I'm researching a named WWII USMC HBT utility jacket and was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction.

The jacket is marked "G.R. Heath", and I've already found a Marine whose details appear to match the name and initials. I've been able to trace his unit, casualty date, and some family information through publicly available records.

At this point I'm not trying to identify a person, but rather to verify whether the historical research matches the jacket.

Does anyone here have access to Fold3, Marine Corps muster rolls, or other WWII USMC records and would be willing to help check for additional documentation? I'm especially interested in whether there are personnel records or muster rolls that might confirm service after July 1944 or contain any additional details.

Any advice on where to look next would be greatly appreciated!
