It is from a U. Korean War veteran and was used in Korea at War time. It is used, but in very good condition. There is a sewn in tag in the lower right pocket. It partly reads Overcoat, Parka Type With Pile Liner, Size Small, A. Dater June 30, 1951, Pattern Date 21, July 1947. The tag in the collar area says S which mean small.Some measurements are as follow. Outside shoulder tip to shoulder tip = 18 ½ inches, shoulder tip to cuff = 25 inches, arm pit to arm pit = 23 inches.
There is only 1 button of the 5 main front buttons. All the rest of the buttons on the jacket are there. All of the snaps on the liner and jacket are there and are all in fine condition. It still has the original outside waist belt. It has a Conmar marked zipper.
The liner is removable by snaps. Something was spilled on it way in the past on the lower back.It did not soak through to the inside. I tried water on it and it did not come out.
The outer cuffs are frayed at their edges. The liner knit cuffs are fine and not stretched out. There is a little fraying by the middle front button hole. There are a few little tears and holes. See my photos with the white arrows. The liner has no holes or tear. Scroll all the way down to see all of my photos. Please scroll all the way down and read through everything.
