Hello everyone,
First off, I have to apologize for not having photos to accompany my question, but I was unable to take any. A friend of mine has offered me what he says is a Japanese army rain coat. From a distance it looks just like the standard army rain coat, but I do not believe he is correct, since it has none of the usual military markings. Where the stamps should be is a sewn in gauze type label. It does not have the bayonet retaining strap, but instead on the back has two thin loops to retain a belt. The buttons are also the green baked clay type. Can this be a navy item or just civilian like I suspect. If I can get some photos I will try to post them. I look forward to any ideas, help or theories about this coat. Thank you in advance.
