The John Bannister Collection - D-Day and Militaria
Lot 2256:
Description
This is an authentic WWII-era USMC P41 field utility jacket, a cornerstone of Marine Corps history during the Pacific campaign. Constructed from olive drab herringbone twill (HBT), it features the quintessential three-pocket design, “donut” style metal buttons, and a visible USMC Eagle, Globe, and Anchor (EGA) stencil on the left chest pocket. The interior collar is clearly stamped with size “42.” While highly desirable for its historical significance, this example shows significant field wear, most notably fraying on the rear of the right sleeve cuff only, along with scattered miniscule stains. A fairly nice; clean example that are getting harder to come by! H 30″, W 24″, D 1″ Please see photos.
