I was thinking that too. But I mean its not the mona lisa or something, Or someones Idea of pulling a fast one, could be a post war copy-cat Jacket made by an enthusiast. I was thinking theres a possibility of it not being totally authentic, but the 1944 date makes it period correct to the story...
