The vest has five brass buttons with an eagle carrying an anchor (and is possibly a Marine soldier's vest). There are four outside front pockets and one interior right breast pocket. The back of the vest has a triangular piece of black fabric inserted in the center of the brown back (as if it was made larger at one point) and a metal clasp at the base of the vest that holds a black and brown cotton straps closed.On View
