Hello. I hope everybody is doing well during these times. I recently received this ike jacket, and mainly just wanted to receive some comments on it! I do not doubt the authenticity of the ike jacket, but I am rather skeptical on the 82nd AA insignia piece on the left shoulder, as you are all well aware, those can be dubious most times thanks to Private Ryan and Band of Brothers. The owner provided he had owned this jacket for 25 years, and has well over 40+ years of dealing in WW2 US militaria which gave me some more confidence in this piece. Hopefully I would be able to receive some more word on it other than his and mine! Also, to note, the jump wings are reproductions and I found what looks to be a hankerchief in one of the pockets which is shown in the photos below. Thank you all for taking a look, and I hope everything comes back positive!
If any additional photos/information need to be provided, I would be happy to do so! (photos taken on iPhone, sorry!)
