US M42 Paratrooper jump jacket original??

[matiash]

Hi! Guys!
Couple of days ago i*ve found this jacket on the market/ The owner couldn*t say nothing about it/
Is it repro or original jacket?
Thanks!!

Its a repro...probably for reenactors or film use. Looks like the zippers read 'TALDN' instead of 'TALON' .

[matiash]

Thanks!
Yes zippers with TALDN stamps.
i*ve bye it on the street market
and it*s the first time i*ve meet any US part of uniform on WW2 period in Ukraine.
exept zippers i*ve notice the difference on the neck loop? buttons are not the samt as on usual this tipe of jackets.
but label looks authentic

One other observation is the jump jacket size. Size 46R was not listed in the documents I have seen reference sizes made..

As already stated, it is a modern copy.
