A very bright example .... the cotton interior looks mint. Should that be of concern?
Thanks inadvance for any input

I was once told by Bob Coleman that a number of these were discovered in Austria in a depot at the end of the war, and they were all unissued (both Officer and EM/NCO).
This appears to be one of them.

I had one of these 40+ years ago, you couldn't give it away - no one wanted it.
I think because of the pink color.
