Was able to purchase this set.

 

The jacket is a bit mothed but it came with the DI's,dog tag,caps etc.

 

Shirt has matching overseas stripes but no other patches.

​Great set !

Very nice. There is an interesting history behind this unit.

Killer set, Ron. I will take mothy with solid IDed history over pristine but unnamed any day of the week. Great pickup.

Great group! 473rd stuff is hard to find! Interesting that he didn't wear a scroll.

Nice.

 

Where are the DIs made?

They are Italian made. The backs are pressed metal and can easily break....making mint ones on the uniform incredibly rare.

 

 

Good find Ron, local area up there in the north country?

As if an Idd 473rd uni itself isnt cool enough, yours has the dis too! Good on ya for catching this one Ron.
