Fratlanta Posted January 16, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 16, 2021 I acquired today, what I think is a M40 denim chore jacket. My question is, would it be normal/common to see them patched with ranks (sergeant) ? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themick Posted January 17, 2021 Share #9 Posted January 17, 2021 So, is this Col. Jeff Cooper actually resting the butt plate of his weapon on his jaw while firing?? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Flage Guy Posted January 18, 2021 Share #13 Posted January 18, 2021 A friend of mine found one of these Jackets in a Downtown Houston gun show. Absolutely mint condition, but it was stenciled in white paint "P" on one shoulder and "W" on the other (I wish I'd bought it from him 😬) ! He sent it off to Manion's Auction House, where I'd bet it did well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
