M1951 Korean War US Army Fishtail Parka M51 Original Liner 1953 Jacket Sz M Mod
This is a 1953-dated Korean War M51 Fishtail Parka with matching 1953 liner. The jacket is in great condition but has red-orange stains on the right elbow, minor ones on the hood and below the left front pocket (as highlighted in the picture wth the red arrows) as well as some unstitching near the fishtail. No fraying, rips or tears. Flaws can be seen in photos. More photos available by request. I have not tried to wash this jacket, nor will I if you ask. It smells like an old military jacket should and still will when you receive it. Although this is "the jacket" of mod fashion and Quadrophenia fame, I really feel like this should go to a militaria collector. I received the jacket with this liner in it from someone who was not aware it was Korean War era and I believe the liner to be original. I previously bought an M65 field jacket with an excellent condition 1952 60% Wool M1951 liner in it and bought this fishtail to piece them together, assuming it had a newer liner, it had the 1953 liner for sale with it now. The last picture is a picture of the label which I edited to make it more readable. TAP-22373 16 JUNE 1953 MIL-P-11013A 12 MARCH 1951. The liner reads: PARKA-LINER, M-1951 SALEM PRODUCTS CORP.
