And what do you think of this one ?

the WD and arrow marked with the number "0" above and the number "21" below would means 1942 ?
Starting price seems expensive...

I've been told be specialist, that chamois lining of the map pocket is not conform to original, broad arrow stamp too. It seems to be reenactement trousers upgraded.

I think you need to clarify which pair of trousers you are talking about. The ones in your post with the ebay link I presume?

Maybe that post should be moved to its own thread, the ebay thread avoid confusion with the original pair?

Are we now saying that trousers with "chamois lining of the map pocket " are now fake?

Hello,

I am trying to find info about a pair of trousers I have in hands
A collector say, from the marking, this one was made in 1947.
Does anyone could confirm this information ?
I read the date 1942 on the tag, but the "E" indicate
a later date of production ??

Yes, the letter E signifies 1947 production. And I believe the label says trousers pattern 1946, not trousers parachutist.
