SARGE Posted June 7, 2007 Share #7 Posted June 7, 2007 Ricardo, Your Army Air Force coat is a Mackanaw. Is there a date on the quartermaster tag? There were several versions of these Mackanaws but I think yours is the 1942 model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEAST Posted June 9, 2007 Share #9 Posted June 9, 2007 WWII US Women's Naval Reserve enlisted overcoat. There are no other labels or markings other than the one shown below. The veteran was a Pharmacist mate 2nd Class, but there is no evidence of any ratings or other insignia being sewn on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARGE Posted June 9, 2007 Share #10 Posted June 9, 2007 Some very nice overcoats have been shown. Overcoats are hard to display but some are quite interesting. Here is an interesting Constabulary overcoat. It has an unreadable ordnance tag in the lining and brass buttons. The brass buttons are all made by Firmin of London. I suspect that the Constabulary Trooper changed out wartime plastic buttons for private purchase British buttons made of gilt brass. Closeup view of the Constabulary insignia on the left sleeve.

duarte1223 Posted June 9, 2007 Share #11 Posted June 9, 2007 I only have a couple of interesting ones. This one doesn't seem too interesting, just a ruptured duck, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duarte1223 Posted June 9, 2007 Share #12 Posted June 9, 2007 it's named to my grandpa, and it's the only time I've ever seen him write his real name, Deforest. I have drawings of his from when he was a little kid that he signed as "Skip", as that has been his nickname since he was young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SARGE Posted June 12, 2007 Share #16 Posted June 12, 2007 Here is a USFA overcoat with wartime plastic buttons and full insignia. A back view of the overcoat belt showing the plastic buttons. A closeup view of the machine sewn insignia. Notice the bullion USFA patch. Uh oh... my mistake. The first photo is of a USFA Private's overcoat. Here is a front view of the USFA Corporal's coat. Oh well, two for the price of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank76 Posted June 12, 2007 Share #17 Posted June 12, 2007 This is my 28th Infantry Division overcoat. Made by Jules Segal in 1941. I found this coat in a region where elements of this division stayed after they left the Hürtgen forrest and before leaving to Luxembourg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
