M1951 Wool Field Trousers

[Fabe]

Hi Everyone -

Just got this today - M1951 Wool Field Trousers - MEDIUM LONG

Unfortunately, the tags are somewhat faded - but is it 'Korean War' era for sure?



I'm trying to collect together a complete US soldier from the Korean War, I already have a 1946 dated MEDIUM LONG Field overcoat, M1951 X-suspenders/strap, and M1950 Trouser suspenders.



Cheers,
Fabe

I'm not 100% sure Korea period due to the waist adjustment sliders? I am most likely incorrect, but I think these are from around '54 onward.
I think I have a pair somewhere? I can't access my junk room for now as I have unstable shelving that needs tending to!!

I certainly stand to be corrected here!

Here is a 1953 dated one from ebay:

Hey, that sounds a bit dangerous Rene. I see the headlines "Man trapped under avalanche of old trousers."
