WWII M-41 Field Jacket as worn by Signal Officers with Signal Corps Insignia Painted on Back

Wonderful WWII M-41 Field Jacket as worn by a Signal Officer. The reverse features the Signal Corps insignia painted on the back, the M-41 was mainly used during the early days of WWII by members of the United States Army. This example of the M-41 is olive drab, lined with wool, features a metal zipper closure in the front with a secondary button closure, and two side pockets. The shoulders, cuffs, and waistband feature button tabs. The inside shows the remnants of the original tag and it shows the number: "178(?)".

7 (Very Fine): The jacket shows minor to moderate wear, two buttons on the front closure are missing and another from the waist area, the zipper shows damage (see photo), overall color and wool are in remarkable condition, as is the painted insignia on the reverse.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
