WWII 1939 U.S. Wool Overcoat

Officially named the "Overcoat, Wool, Melton, OD, Roll Collar, 32.-oz." This coat was standardized in 1939. In 1942, brown plastic buttons replaced brass buttons, but both styles were issued en masse during the winter campaign of 1944-1945. This particular coat is a 38R, and is in fair condition with some moderate mothing on the collar and near the side pockets. While searching through the coat I found a nickle sized spiritual icon safety pinned to the inside of the liner, placed in there by some GI looking for comfort or good luck. A pocket includes one extra large Waterbury brass button in an old paper bag. Here is a great overcoat for the collector or reenactor that likely saw service in WWII. WW2- $45.00
