No Quarter Posted December 23, 2020 Share #1 Posted December 23, 2020 Just scored this Korean War era top with theater made patches. Does anyone know the language on the name tape? I don't know if it's Korean or not. There are no tags on the jacket which makes me wonder if the jacket itself is foreign made. Any thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites
Wake1941 Posted December 23, 2020 Share #2 Posted December 23, 2020 Patch is Japanese made so I’d bet it’s in Japanese. Nice shirt Link to post Share on other sites
smwinter207 Posted December 23, 2020 Share #3 Posted December 23, 2020 I believe it is a phonetic spelling of the name. Link to post Share on other sites
smwinter207 Posted December 23, 2020 Share #4 Posted December 23, 2020 I'm not an expert, but I looked up Japanese for 'bill' 'little' and 'john'. ビル リトルジョン BILL LITTLEJOHN Looks pretty close. Link to post Share on other sites
