Then I noticed hanging on a rack a 1942 US paratrooper jump suit jacket, very good condiion and fits me. I was afraid to ask the price but said "$50" SOLD. Have always wanted both of these. I checked it out, not a repro. Will try to get a picture tomorrow. No insignia or anything so no "stolen valor". It is cool.
That’s really cool! I have my Dad’s field jacket he wore in Vietnam and one he wore in Korea. I have the Luger he captured in Germany.
