KD Bush Jacket
First post of an acquisition in a rather long time. This one being a Khaki Drill bush jacket, with a matching belt. This one shows signs of combat use, but is otherwise complete barring the shoulder and collar insignia, which has been removed. The original sergeant’s stripes remain in place. I understand that regimental insignia was sometimes removed or simply not worn at all, while rank insignia was always present.
All buttons are there and well-attached. The shoulder boards are both present. There is no tailor’s label unfortunately, meaning it can’t be nailed to a specific year, but I’m confident it is of World War II pattern. There are also some odd markings on both the jacket and belt that I am unable to comprehend.
A nice little pickup for not too much money.
