I don't think that $65 is unreasonable, they were issued during the Korean and Viet Nam wars. It will make a nice display piece if you pick up and apply a period European unit patch and rank chevrons. If you decide to go with that I'll take photos of mine and send them to you for placement. As for the date on the coat it's very easy to miss, it's in the left hand pocket, not in the very bottom where you would expect to find it but in the very top. You have to turn the entire pocket inside out to see it. Someone would have to offer me much more than what you paid for me to part with mine, no I take that back I would not sell it. Still a nice pick up at a fair price. John
