otter42 Posted November 12, 2013 Share #1 Posted November 12, 2013 Found this in a footlocker from a WWII vet's group I just purchased. Looks like the belt goes with the M42 Parachute Jacket from the pictures I have viewed. I kept digging hopping to find the jacket but no dice. Thanks for any input, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Willaert Posted November 12, 2013 Share #2 Posted November 12, 2013 Any traces of a small tab in the back where it would be fastened to the the jacket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otter42 Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted November 12, 2013 I have attached some close ups of loose threads on the back of the belt where it would had been attached, and a better one of the buckle. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejet Posted November 12, 2013 Share #5 Posted November 12, 2013 You have a belt but no jacket....and many collectors have jackets but no belts! I don't think you'd have any shortage of potential takers if you were ever to offer it up for sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otter42 Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share #6 Posted November 12, 2013 I talked to the guy I bought it from and was hoping the M42 would turn up, but nothing has come of it, a lot of the items were stolen by meth-head relatives before he got it. Thanks for confirming it is the real deal. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpicoli Posted June 18, 2020 Share #7 Posted June 18, 2020 Do you still have it? Would you consider selling it? I´m interested if you accept paypal and ship overseas. Regards Fabio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
