SKI PARKA Reversible Fur trimmed MEDIUM

 

Commentary
   

As the seller correctly states in his description, this is a "Parka, Ski, Reversible, Fur-trimmed" based on Tentative Specification P.Q.D. 201. This is verified by the information on the contact tag. In spite of the seller's contention that this parka is "All original," it is not. The zipper in this parka was added later, and it unfortunately ruins the value to collectors of what would otherwise be an excellent parka. No U.S. Army fur-trimmed, reversible parka was originally made with a zipper during World War II.
