This guidebook has been compiled to provide the organizations and individuals whose interest in the dress of the Continental Marine probes beyond the customary printed sources to the actual recreation of the uniform with the necessary guidance to do so. With the Bicentennial of the American Revolution imminent, the need for a guide of this nature has become evident through the increasing number of queries received from the military community and the general public. In response to them and in preparation for the celebration of the Bicentennial the Marine Corps Museum has prepared this pamphlet.
