doyler Posted July 18, 2013 Share #1 Posted July 18, 2013 Viewed an auction last week end and found this mixed in amonst the other items.THere was a WW1 uniform as well but it was void of division patch.Had cav collar disc and a Mexican Border ribbon plus two overseas stripes plus pack and cartridge belt.I was told there were items from two families at the auction.O left a bid with a friend. I was happy to get this.Its a bit stiff but they are hard to find in any condition 44444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustyCanteen Posted July 18, 2013 Share #3 Posted July 18, 2013 Great find Ron!! That's a very pleasant surprise! I'm sure you won't, but I would suggest not attempting to fold that thing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted July 18, 2013 THanks The auction people said it all came out of a trunk.It was hanging on a rack and I didnt even take it off the rack to look it over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitter2k1 Posted July 18, 2013 Share #5 Posted July 18, 2013 My jealousy is flaring! Yeah no kidding! He finds this and I can't even find a blanket that isn't over $75. So what's the secret to scoring big? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavdoc83 Posted July 18, 2013 Share #10 Posted July 18, 2013 What a great find! Is there a tag in it indicating manufacturer and date? Can we see a picture of the back? Is there a triangular piece at the top of the split in the back? I ask because I'd be interested to know if this raincoat is of the 1918 or 1919 specs.
