Post your "Forest Greens" from WWII here.

These photos are courtesy of the military forums site (USMF) that I belong to. That having been said, they are also for sale. (NOT by me). If anyone is interested, let me know and I can put you in touch with them. (I do not know the seller, but they are such good photos of 'common' everyday uniforms, I thought I'd post them here for all to see before they are no longer available).


A 1943 dated size 4 M, made by College Hill Fashions (under contract). http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/uploads//monthly_03_2008/post-115-1206377505.jpg

The liner markings. This would be inside the left sleeve. All WWII era (and before) coats were marked this way.
