Hi everybody

 

I came by this uniform (that is not mine) and would like to have your opinions. It's heavily worn as you can see. Some details are confusing to me. I am sorry about the quality of the pics. Maybe these are enough for a 1st opinion. Should some of you think that specific pictures would help, pls tell and I 'd ask the owner

 

Also, opinions on the patch please?

 

Thank you VERY MUCH for your input on this

OK. Thank you. For my information, what are the details that tell you it's fake?

The main part, not the "AIRBORNE" tab, of the 82nd Airborne Division Shoulder Sleeve Insignia (SSI) looks like it has a merrowed edge. The merrowed edge (overstiched edge) came into general use on Army SSI in 1968. I am not knowledgible enough to comment on the coat itself.

The polyester zip tape, stitch length, fake distressing, press snaps...

What’s wrong with it? Start at the top and work your way down. Everything you see is fake!
