postmanusnac Posted September 16, 2021 Share #1 Posted September 16, 2021 I picked two Ike’s up on eBay for $24. They both have the same style 43rd patch, it’s almost “crinkly” and the border is a brighter green than I’ve seen before. The one jacket pictured here also has these beautiful overseas bars and LT bars on it. Are these German made? Both Ike’s are dated 1944 and one was modified with a zipper. My belief is this is from someone who served with the 43rd in Germany between 1950-51, but must’ve served during WW2 as well to have that much time overseas. There is no unit patch on the right side.
