Original M-43 Field Jacket 38R **SOLD**

[Mike1973]

I recently discovered my old M-43 I bought many moons ago when I started out in living history / reenacting. (I dabbled with in American stuff in the very early '90's)
In good condition, with the usual very light wear to the bottom of the cuffs, but not serious. All the buttons present apart from the two for making the cuffs extra tight. Tagged 38R, with instruction label. Waist drawstring still present. Good colour and no major marks or stains.

Not sure on date? Is there a way of telling?

Looking for around £45 ($70) for Loungers before I put it on ebay. (About the same price as a repro)

I can take some photos tonight if there is any interest. Plus measurements.

Mike.
(I am selling to raise funds for a good DSLR camera!)

Mike,

Received, worn and appreciated, thanks!

A very nice jacket and a worthy successor to an original that was my 'beat jacket' in 1965.

That's great H! Very pleased it has gone to a good home!

Also, I have just taken delivery this morning of a Canon DSLR I won on ebay at the weekend! Got a good deal, and can't wait to start playing with it! Thanks for helping contribute to the camera fund!

Mike,

Received, worn and appreciated, thanks!
