[Derf]

Hello guys, I need your opinion on this jacket, I don't find anything on this soldier. Real or Fake ? TIA.

[Derf]

No just that name

everything looks real but what you don't know was it put together post war. can you get a close up of thread used to apply flag and patches?

Only 2 hits with that surname, neither had matching initials. The similar fading shade on all insignia might be either signs of storage in a smokers home or repro badges. My only other observation would be that an M43 field jacket would imply very late war issue if it was all original. The jacket is of course missing the inner lining, although it is an original garment.
