I bought this from a friend who is a ww2 airborne collector. It is in my room, but running out of space, so selling a few items. Has the invasion flag with the 82nd a/b patch. The lower pockets have been reinforced. The tag is still there, but washed out, zips up nice, and snaps work correct. I bought this not knowing when the patchs and stitching were done, but it is a real ww2 M42 jump jacket!!! This early type was correct for the d-day invasion, and some continued using them into holland. This is one very hard to find airborne jump jacket, and is in nice shape. I do have another, with a pacific theater patch, bug am probably holding on to that one. He was not sure the stitching was correct on the patch, and pockets, but knows the rest is correct, but am selling it as such.
