Hello korea drab. I picked up this jacket today at an estate sale. It looks exactly like a M-1951 field jacket, but there are no markings or tags at all. The zipper looks just like the one you posted, with the wierd markings on the metal and the HBT reinforcement stiching. What do I have? Thanks, Al Hirschler in Dallas.

Cold weather uniform M1951

 

A. standard cold weather uniform:

 

Boot, insulated

 

FYI: USMC versions of the black Insulated Rubber Combat Boots exist. I have seen a pair before in a friend's collection. They are identical to the Army versions, but were marked U.S.M.C. on the back in white letters. Sorry I can't provide a photo, but this is one more item for you to look for.

Just ran across a pair on ebay for anyone who is interested: http://www.ebay.com/itm/KOREA-VIETNAM-WAR-ERA-USMC-MARINE-COLD-WEATHER-INSULATED-RUBBER-BOOTS-SZ-7D-/351039436006?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51bb94b4e6

Heres another mint pair of boondocks dated 1957, General Shoe Co- Brown eyelets, brown stitching, brown leather on the interior, black tongue and black backing leather on the eyelet panels, brown laces original to the boots- therefore BROWN boots. And in my size. Life is good.
