dunmore1774 Posted January 11, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 11, 2020 Picked this up recently, I don't know anything about these. No markings other than the "US-M" art the collar. Two breast pockets and one little pocket on upper left arm. Real, repro, later production? Thanks for any info Link to post Share on other sites

gwb123 Posted January 11, 2020 Share #5 Posted January 11, 2020 The shades of green and brown are the tip off. However, as these are no longer on the market, there are folks out there who will buy these for reenacting or just knocking around.

gwb123 Posted January 12, 2020 Share #10 Posted January 12, 2020 Got excited. My bad. Don't feel bad... they fooled a lot of people when they first came out. There are reproductions on the market now that are a lot closer to the original patterns that are really hard to identify.

I'd enjoy something to wear, and not worry about destroying value. Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroAlpha Posted January 26, 2020 Share #12 Posted January 26, 2020 The stamps, buttons and stitching would have fooled me. Sometimes hard to tell from colors on monitor. Link to post Share on other sites
