gauthieb3sxz Posted February 5, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 5, 2019 Just won this gem on eBay. Has anyone seen another jacket with this modification? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacificGunner Posted February 5, 2019 Share #2 Posted February 5, 2019 Personally I have not come across any M-43 jackets with a modified fur collar. I usually see M-41 jackets with leather collars and leather trim around the pockets and sleeves. These usually come from Army Air Force or Navy vets, i suppose they had more time to customize their field jackets than Infantrymen. I guess the leather around the pockets and sleeves would help against fraying damage. Is there a date on the back of the photo? I know the 94th ID was involved in the Ardennes-Alsace campaign so I wonder if this was done before or after the Battle of the Bulge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
