The Corps did not issue field jackets to individuals; they were unit issue. When I checked into Schools Battalion at Camp Pendleton in '70, they issued me this...When I checked out to my first duty station, I had to turn this in...the Supply L/CPL asked me if I wanted to buy a brand new in-the-wrapper field jacket (Velcro!) for $20...I said, "Sure!", and he threw in the old jacket...("I'm just going to throw it out, take it!")...

This one has been in the back of my Corvette since '98...

That one is worth a few bucks, notice the collar, pointed, not rounded, WWII style, M-44, I think, M-65 is what replaced it.. I was issued one when I went in and followed up getting two more before they were issued out. In that shape, I'd say it's worth 150-200 bucks. WWII and Korean re-enactors would pay good for it, especially if it's a bigger than nromal size.
