When I was a young teenager, I received this uniform as a gift from the Honduran Army when I was 13 years old. My father had an M1 Garand national match. He sold it in 2000 for $1,600. My older cousin retired as an O-6 from the Honduran Army.

I am posting a picture of WW2 U.S. Marine Frog Skin camouflage trousers, jumpsuit, jump smock and gloves LTC Stephen Conway for comparison with the black and white picture.
The fact the individual in the picture is holding an M1 at port arms supports the hypotheses that this is a WWII marine uniform IMHO.
Thanks Sgt Wayne Wood

Col., I think you hit the nail on the head, We were taught a lot of History in the Corps and if I remember correctly, that uniform did in fact belong to a Raider Unit. I could not swear to it, but it appears you did your homework.
