G'day all
Seeing I pulled out my black one here's the one underneath
Unusual SGT rank applied, but is the real deal.
I'll see what else I can drag out before the Wifey gets home

Rene I want your magic hat, I think it is similar to Frosty the Snow Mans who comes to life.
Nice HBT, Rene.
Painting stripes on the sleeve was a regular occurence in the US Marines.........

Perhaps it was normal in the Pacific Theater. If there were no correct insignia
in stock, a guy might have to wait for months to get some.........

I have some trousers, the only HBT I've got - no stripes on them though..........!

Steve.
Don't know what pattern, maybe you might.
Here they are.........

Nice jacket Rene. And I also drag out my stuff when the wife is away, though I think you may have more.
I have a similar jacket, but with out the stripes, and it also has the 13 star buttons. I also have a one piece HBT coverall with the same buttons.
Here in the States, years ago, HBT items were scarce and brought in a high $$. That seems to have changed lately; I've noticed that HBT pieces on e-Bay are going for
little $$, if they sell at all. Not sure what happened. Maybe someone found that lost HBT wharehouse.
