justine62 Posted January 24, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 24, 2014 Hello , I just bought this jacket reinforced M42. I have this number B-8413 inside. There are currently no patch or name. (no tag and Crown main zip and serval for 2 little zip) It is not possible to find the owner? Can you give me more information about this jacket? Thanks so much !

glenm Posted January 24, 2014 Share #2 Posted January 24, 2014 Something looks distinctly wrong about that jacket, Justine. The belt certainly isn't right, and the reinforcements don't look right either. Any signs of a label in the lower right pocket? Cheers, Glen.

justine62 Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted January 24, 2014 No tag on pocket... The reinforcement fabrics impregnated and seems very very thick. The reinforcements were added above and sewn corner, with several lines of stitching. (Sorry for my english...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Hate Moths Posted January 24, 2014 Share #4 Posted January 24, 2014 While i can't comment on the reinforcing, the crown zipper and belt buckle look like the one my dad gave me. Mine also has serval zippers on the knife pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The belt is swen on the jacket. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
American Graffiti Posted January 25, 2014 Share #6 Posted January 25, 2014 The jacket is AOK, as for the reinforcement I'm no expert, but it certainly looks the right type of fabric and has all the stitching idiosyncracies of originals and not the obvious repro signs. Nice pick up, AG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted January 25, 2014 Share #7 Posted January 25, 2014 I think people are naturally always cautious when such jackets appear because they are scarce and there are several good repros currently available out there. Also...originals are very expensive. There was one on eBay very recently priced at over $1000 / €730. The price asked is often an indicator of authenticity. So,if it cost €100 or less, it was either an absolute bargain.....or the right price for a repro. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/198481-1390-bin-42-pattern-82nd-jump-jacket-on-ebayuk/?hl=%2Bjump+%2Bjacket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justine62 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted January 25, 2014 I agree to the price. But sometimes buyers are Leurer to 10,000 dollars with a copy. I ask your thoughts on this jacket just;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justine62 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share #14 Posted January 25, 2014 Pour la veste en elle-même c'est une WWII de par la confection, les zips etc. Je veux juste avec des avis sur les renforts... et pour le lundry number : impossible à retrouver la trace de son propriétaire WWII ?

Kadet Posted January 25, 2014 Share #21 Posted January 25, 2014 Go Here: http://wwii-enlistment.com/search/ Type in the laundry # and you will have your list of candidates from the NARA database. Keep in mind that not every soldier is in the database, nor are officers listed there. If you know where this jacket came from specifically in the US (i.e. the state), this can often be used to narrow the search a bit. Then it is a matter of looking at each name for a match. Quite tedious, but it can be done. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
