U.S.Marine Standing Firing Trench Shot Gun, Belleau Wood, 1918 64,95 €

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 07:50:10 +0200

In June 1918, the United States Marine Corps earned one of its most legendary battle honors in the forests of Belleau Wood, France. As German forces threatened Paris during a major Spring Offensive, the Marines of the 4th Brigade were ordered to hold the line...and then attack.

Facing entrenched German machine guns, barbed wire, and poison gas, the Marines launched wave after wave of ferocious assaults across open wheat fields. Their tenacity and aggression stunned the Germans, who reportedly nicknamed them Teufelhunden - Devil Dogs - a name the Corps proudly carries to this day.

After 26 days of brutal fighting, the Marines cleared the wood. The battle cost nearly 5,000 casualties but announced America's fighting power to the world.

British Royal Marine Drummer - 1805-16 56,95 €

Fri, 01 May 2026 07:40:09 +0200

The drum was the preferred method of delivering signals of movement on the battlefield as it was loud enough to be heard over the din of combat. On board ship, a drummers rhythm would direct the changing of the watches or beat the men to quarters. Royal Marine Drummers were first mentioned in the 1664 Convening Order, at the formation of Corps and so pride themselves as being the oldest branch in the Corps. Without doubt, groups of musicians existed in the Service before 1767, when Royal Marines Divisional Bands were formed at the naval dockyard-bases of Chatham, Plymouth, and Portsmouth and the naval gathering-point of Deal in the Downs. Marine corps of drums provided music on board ships before and during battles of the Napoleonic Wars.

U.S. Marine Rifleman - WWI 1917-18 54,95 €

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 09:10:11 +0200

Foremost in the Marine Corps small arms arsenal of WWI was the .30-06 chambered Model of 1903 Springfield rifle. The M1895 Winchester Lee Navy and M1898 Krag-Jørgensen used by the U.S. military were deemed inadequate when up against Spanish Mausers in Cuba and the Marines made the upgrade to the new M1903 as early as 1908. Within a short period of time, Marines were winning interservice matches with the rifle which began an almost cultlike reverence for the 03 Springfield. Some accounts claim that Marines began accurately engaging German soldiers at ranges of up to 800 yards. As a famous Marine Corps chronicler, Col. John W. Thomason, stated, "...the Germans were given a new experience: rifle-fire that begins to kill at 800 yards; they found it very interesting."

U.S.N. Sailor in "Crackerjacks" 1930-45 54,95 €

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 09:45:10 +0200

The uniform worn by a U.S. sailor in 1886 was essentially the same as what he wore when he came home after WWII. Its basics were a blue, wool jumper, short jacket, and flare-bottomed trousers, which were easily rolled up, essential for deck washing. The square collar, or "tar flap" was used to protect the uniform in the time when sailors wore the log hair in a queue held together by tar and was originally a separate piece. Wedge-shaped pieces of canvas sewn together with a brim rolled low was used as cover and became known as a "Dixie Cup" hat. The black silk neckerchief was primarily worn as a sweat rag but could also be used as a battle dressing. These "service dress blues," would be nicknamed "Cracker Jacks" after the popular snack treats cartoon mascot first seen in 1916.

U.S.Navy Sailor in Whites with Seabag and Hammock - 1920-41 54,95 €

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 09:45:10 +0200

This U.S.N. Sailor wears the simplified version of the white service uniform, otherwise known as the "undress whites." This more formal service white uniform was a derivative of the earlier U.S.N. uniform established in 1866. The "undress whites" formed the basis for the white service dress uniform that was designed to be a summer-friendly alternative to the classic blue service dress sailor suit. Enlisted "undress" is less ornamental than the blue service dress sailor suit. This figure exhibits many of the characteristics known to exist on the U.S.N. whites worn between 1919 -41 such as the canvas twill "Dixie Cup" hat and cotton pullover V-neck jumper with squared "sailor collar." The cotton twill, flat-front trousers have a front fly, two pockets, laced-back gusset, and plain-hemmed bellbottoms.

U.S. Marine in Fatigue Uniform, 1839 54,95 €

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 09:45:10 +0200

The Marines adopted this fatigue uniform prior to the Mexican War, because of its simplicity and comfort. The enlisted waist jacket is a plain sky blue wool, unlined with narrow cut sleeves, closed with nine small Waterbury Marine pattern buttons down the front. The jacket had two shoulder epaulettes fastened with small buttons, a stand up collar, two exterior pockets, and functional cuffs that were closed with one small cuff button per sleeve. This jacket was worn by the Marines at Harpers Ferry and was almost identical to the U.S. Army fatigue jacket of the period but without any trim. The 1839 forage cap, or "wheel hat," in dark blue wool with a black leather visor, saw service from late 1839 up to the mid 1840s.

US Marines Officer - 1806-1818 54,95 €

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 09:45:10 +0200

Much more is known about the dress of U.S. Marine officers of this period than of the enlisted men. Although only a few enlisted men were sketched or painted, several excellent officer portraits confirm the written descriptions of the time. Blue full-length coats with red facings and gold trim and buttons were called out in the regulations, but minor variations in the details of decoration were not unusual. Unlike the enlisted men, all of the officers dress was privately purchased from tailors, hatters, and suppliers of military ornaments. Although boots were fashionable dress for officers in this period, low quarter shoes would be just as acceptable.

US Marine - 1798 54,95 €

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 09:45:10 +0200

The United States Marine Corps we know today was established formally on 11 July 1798. The first official uniform issued to the men were actually surplus uniforms from the small U.S. Army. A special short jacket had been designed and issued to the rifleman of the Legion of the United States under Major General Anthony Wayne but when they were later reorganized into regular infantry regiments in 1796, these flank company uniforms were discontinued. The thrifty government of the period seized the opportunity to reuse these uniforms for the newly formed United States Marines. The first uniform specifically designed for the marines was introduced in 1805.

Royal Marine Offizier - 1803-06 54,95 €

Officers of the Royal marines wore uniforms in the same fashion as those worn by the British Infantry. As they were granted the title "Royal" in 1802, the facings were blue with gilt buttons and lace set in pairs. A black beaver Chapeau Bras was worm with a feather plume attached just above the black leather cockade, and gilt tassels were attached at each end of the hat. When on duty a crimson silk sash was worn around the waist and a gilt gorges was worn at the neck. In 1810, epaulettes were altered to conform with the army practice of a single gold one with fringe worn on the right shoulder for junior officers, one worn on the right with bullion fringe for captains, and bullion epaulettes worn on both shoulders for senior officers.
