M42 Jump Jacket

**John4022** · 04-12-2019, 02:35 AM

I just bought this off of another forum today and I am so excited! The zipper is most likely period replaced and it has remnants of once having a name tape, 101st patch, and a sergeant rank. Hope you guys like it!

Man, that is REALLY nice! Congratulations on the purchase. Is this a first for you, or an addition to an existing jacket collection?

Thanks for posting the photo. Very cool

Take care...... ...... .... . .

It came from a trusted member over on the US Military Forum. Also, from my own studies it appears original.

John,

No worries or doubts whatsoever with this jump jacket being original.. The member you purchased it from is a standup reputable guy.. He knows his stuff and you did good...

Congrats on a great find...
