      Me too.... Did anybody keep pictures to show here? What an opportunity (for lower budget collectors).
      A mint splinter one is currently offered on stand for over $14K!
      The $700 price sure sounded attractive! Gone now...either sold or pulled from stand to be offered again at a higher price?

          It's very important to know if the issues were war time or post war ..

          If post war, why bother ?

          Then even 700 sounds too much for me.

            Sir here is no way to know that for sure ,but this one was a typical war time rework,at last for me as i have owned and seen a few modified like this one was.

              I saw it. As mentioned the smock was shortened, eagle removed and flare pouches removed. I thought all likely post war but still a good price. Put an eagle on it and it would display nicely for lower budget collectors.

                I agree there is no way of knowing when that FJ Jump smock was modified. I have three of them in my collection which I believe were wartime modified. They still retain many of the features mentioned. I even posted several photos on my FJ thread showing at least two modified and shortened smocks and I remember US Signal Corps photos showing a POW arriving in the USA wearing a modified smock.

                The important thing is that the modified smock is original therefore of historical value, and collectable so I don't understand why you as a moderator and Lifetime member would say...."Don't Bother" considering the cost of a FJ smock today that isn't modified $700 is a bargain.

                  700$ would be VERY cheap. Someone was lucky

                    I sure hope you aren't speaking of mine! XD Also, think he may have just left out a 0? I believe I saw that one and it was over in the flick of am eye. Or he didn't know the true value until his PM box was overloaded!
