Hello,
This is my first post in the forum, but long time reader. I thought I would start out with my first original uniform! It's an M43 jacket, with the date label torn out, however the OD3 lining leads me to believe it's an early version (I know a bit about it, but any information is highly appreciated) The lining feels like the outer shell of an M41 jacket, so thats what I think it is. While I was looking at the jacket yesterday, was looking at the left shoulder and noticed what i peviously thought was dirt, might be an insignia (which is painted, or stamped on?) The "shield" around the insignia looks like the 5th Army insignia, but it looks like theres a funny looking "3" inside. Does anybody have an idea what it could be? And is it original or not? (pictures below)
Cheers, Frederik!
