For example, if a captain's M69 service uniform had silver stars (as opposed to gold stars) on the shoulderboards, can it be said that it probably dates to around 1969 to 1974, give or take a couple of years?
It really is hit and miss with the issue dates. If there are silver stars on the shoulder boards they are no real indication of the date.
