USMC M1951 PARKA

[Greg Robinson]

Thanks to our good friends across the Atlantic all Korean War "fishtail" parkas have become harder to find....and expensive. And finding one of them made specifically for the Marine Corps is near impossible. But I picked up this one yesterday for reasonable money. I'm always on the lookout for these but seldom see them. The subdued name tape and American flag suggest to me that it saw service long after the Korean War. But the contract date is March 1951.
