Thanks for resurrecting this. Might be, I think there were several iterations. As I am aware, the Marines used the one’s with some shearling as discussed in the thread. I have seen different modifications on jackets used possibly by other personnel (Navy) or civilian, like lack of leather trim around pockets, or a different design on that trim. I think original photographs of these jackets in wear are still the best reference for collectors (especially Marine collectors). 

Thanks aznation for the info. I've wondered about it for a while but never thought to ask

Nice!   I love the use of the Frogskin bug net cover. It's a very unique piece.    Wade

Tonomachi, thanks for the great information. I had just started a search for him last night, but didn’t get very far. The gentleman who sold me the shirt told me he died, but he wasn’t sure if he was killed in Vietnam or not. This is awesome, thank you. Vic

To go from the smiling, energetic and proud young pilot in that early photo to such a tragic end is very sad. A nice tribute post and collection display to honor his struggle.    Frank

Cool ones, GAZOO. They could almost be the opening line to a joke … “So, two Penguins and a Mylflame walk into a bar, the one …”

You can find LOTS of patches that don't glow that were made well after WWII. You cannot just use "no glow" as the criteria to call a patch WWII. There are a lot of other nuances. As for the Type 10, we do know that they did exist during WWII and that they were also being worn after the war when the 101st was brought back as an airborne division in the late 1950's. Like all things military, if there were still pieces in stock, they would continue to be issued.   Allan

I need to start going to Swedish estate sales! 

. From my Shoebox collection.   A 1937 British issued International document for travel overseas using a car, in this case it was a 1934 Bentley Saloon 25 horsepower.  The owner was possibly an affluent civilian at this time and visited the Nederlands & Germany.  Along with this document is a German post card dated April 1944, possibly by 1944 the owner of the car was serving in the British army and something he picked up while in Germany.    I understand that Hitler owned the copyright on his image and received payment every time a stamp with his face on was issued, a quick google search mentions he received  50 million marks over a period of time from the post office.            Norman D.
