Super smock Gene ( and the previous tan/water ). Any chance of a close-up of the two eagles ? I would love to see them.

Hi Steve,

I'll see what I can do with my camera, I'm getting used to it's features. I'm surprised my smocks have generated so little interest here.

Very nice!!!

Is that FG42 real?

Hi Gene,

that is nice I never got into uniforms, always was out of my reach $ wise. Have to ditto Lasse 's ? Is it real?

[Gene]

Hey guys,

Sorry, the FG42 is not real but a Collector's Armory repro. The bandoleer has 8 repro magazines in it as well.

Hey Gene, how did you find 8 repro mags? Those 2nd model FG42 repros came out very nice. Did you grab a 1st model when they were out years ago?

I too would like to see the eagle and markings of your splinter. I suspect your water pattern had a blue-gray cotton twill backed eagle. And, '44 dated.

Thanks for the photos Gene.

I don't want to be rude but the images are a bit too blurred to tell much about the eagles. Is there any way to get clearer pictures ? I find scanning eagles on a flat-bed scanner a good way .

Also, do you have any other FJ related items in you collection ?

Best wishes
Steve

Sounds like you have a first-rate para collection, Gene. Shame about the camera...would love to see some more photos if/when you get a better one !

Steve,

I'm working on getting a better camera. My collection so far is okay, I don't have any para boots or other items I'd like to have (the cost is prohibitive!) but what I have is at least original.

Gene, does that splinter smock have a date of 1-44? And and RBNr ending with 2476? I see that kind of green twill eagle on smocks like that in the past. Just curious.

Steve, I don't think it is of the style eagle I think you are hoping to see.....if I am reading your comments correctly.
