THIS TUNIC DESIGN REPLACED THE M1895 SUMMER UNDRESS TUNIC IN 1900-1901 AS THE NEW SUMMER FIELD UNIFORM FOR THE MARINES, IN 1904 USMC CHANGED THE BUTTONS FROM GILTED(GOLD) TO BRONZED(BROWN). THE MARINES CONTINUED TO HAVE A SUMMER WHITE UNDRESS UNIFORM, TUNIC THE SAME DESIGN AS THIS, I HAVE A 1907 MINT UNISSUED ONE SIZE 7L (LARGE 40 CHEST) ONE LISTED. THE 1911-18 VERSION IS ALSO A DIFFERENT TYPE OF MATERIAL AND COLOR SHADE AND USES FLAT LARGER BRONZED BUTTONS THAT REPLACED THE HIGH DOMMED BUTTONS AND IS EASY TO TELL APART FROM THE 1904-1910 VERSION TUNIC.
