Ike Jacket, what have I got?

Never go on eBay when you've been drinking ... I bid on this when I'd had a few, I don't even collect US stuff, so well out of my comfort area ... how did I do?

It’s an Ike from a Staff Sergeant in the 3rd US Army. Period chevrons pretty common but IMO anything wartime is a win so long as you didn’t give too much for it!

Thanks for the rapid response, so I suppose I did quite well? Paid just over £18 for it, including postage.

Yes very nice impulse buy IMO! Haha

[paulp4180]

Thanks, I suppose that means another mannequin then ....

Bargain! Think you need to drink more often…

[paulp4180]

Probably won't be that lucky next time.
