m1938 winter tanker trousers, original/everything ok?


Recommended Posts

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 :-)

I think they look good. Could've had the zippers replaced at some point.

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.

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

This is entirely my fault; I once heard this from a fellow collector.

Ok, thank you all. I will post a picture wenn I have made the display. Now only searching for a Mannequin with the right pose.
