Ebden~SPARTA~ Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I picked these Navy trousers up from a surplus in Massachusetts in the 90s. I haven't looked at them in a while. This AM I pulled them out and found under one of the pockets a name and serial #. I think these are pre-WWII because the clothing contract # doesn't include an Nxxx at the beginning. I looked briefly on the St. Louis military archives website but I wasn't sure how to learn about the person who used to own these trousers. The tag reads Name: LANG WP [handwritten] Service #:490045038 [handwritten] Trousers, Men's (Blue, Enlisted) Fiber Content: Wool (100%) Contract #:DLA100-80-C-2283 Stock #:8405-01-076-6027 Size:35S [handwritten initial] KA Name of contractor : Statham Garment Corporation After the cleaning instructions is another handwritten code, best guess CO80 or CO87, maybe CO82.
