WWII Raincoat 1943

[thorin6]

Picked this up at an estate sale today for $3. I knew it was military but had trouble finding the tag. Turned out the raincoat does not have a tag, but is stamped on the weather flap much like the poncho's were stamped. It is a synthetic resin coat that is very supple and not crinkly or cracked. It has all it's buttons, vent holes are clean, and the rear flap looks good. It looks like its been hang up in a closet the last few years. I've looked around on the forum to see other examples and on ebay to see prices. I didn't find any other ones with a stamp, although I'm sure they are out there, and these seem to be selling on ebay for about $100 (with shipping). If any one can provide additional information about these synthetic resin impregnated coats please feel free to comment.

Here's the front:
