Blackhawk Posted January 5, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 5, 2022 Hi, I just found this "FMF" M43 jacket. https://fjm44.com/product/us-m1943-jacket-marines/ What do you think about it? Could this one be worn in WW2 or maybe later? Was it common to wear M43 in the PTO in WW2? Thanks and best regards, Lukas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted January 6, 2022 Share #2 Posted January 6, 2022 My guess is post war, the garrison made up of the contingent of Marines.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pararaftanr2 Posted January 6, 2022 Share #3 Posted January 6, 2022 This link will take you to a YouTube video showing color "home movies" taken when the USS Hancock and USS Shangri-La returned to port at San Pedro California on October 21, 1945. Starting at 8:04, through the end, you will see several FMF marines wearing M-1943 jackets as they debark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqb_JhVeMSE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
