kpl1 Posted Tuesday at 02:42 PM #1 Posted Tuesday at 02:42 PM Last week I bought these winter pants because I want to make a Battle of the Bulge Tanker display. I noticed that they contain zippers from 3 different manufacturers; is this common? In your opinion, is this otherwise an original piece? Thanks to my son, who was kind enough to put the pants on for the photos :-)
1ryguy89 Posted Tuesday at 07:28 PM #2 Posted Tuesday at 07:28 PM I think they look good. Could've had the zippers replaced at some point.
Rhscott Posted Wednesday at 12:48 AM #3 Posted Wednesday at 12:48 AM Just curious but where has the winter armor crew combat uniform ever had “M1938” as part of the description? The armor forces did not even start development of this set until 1940 with it being finalized in early 1942.
eagle mtn Posted Wednesday at 01:13 AM #4 Posted Wednesday at 01:13 AM They look good to me. I wouldn’t worry about the different brands of zippers. Its not unheard of, I’m pretty sure one of my jump jackets has conmar amd talon zippers
