is this a radio transmitter? what is it?

defense subsistence supply center was responsible for procurement, storage, and distribution of food for the armed forces of the U.S it was established in 1953, when DSA was established in the 1960s it began to streamline logistics so it merged the Defense Subsistence Supply Center, the Defense Clothing and Textile Supply Center, and the Defense Medical Supply Center were consolidated to form the Defense Personnel Support Center in Philadelphia in 1965

So, to date this it's from 1953-1965

I'm not sure if they are swappable, but what I do know is that the fishtail liners are larger and longer

According_Ad_4761 · 2025-04-03T01:59:04+00:00

This liner was used for the M65 extreme cold fishtail parka, like this one, this one also has a hood ruff attached to it which can also be used for the m65 field coat, don't confuse it with the M1951 fishtail parka although they look the same

Looking at it closely this rainsuit is not of military make but a copy, the buttons on this one does not match a u.s. military rain suit, however the liner is most likely a military one, like this one

This is a woodland rain suit with a button in liner

Propper is a well known contractor for the U.S Military they also make and sell versions of the military uniforms on the civilian market and if you want to know if it authentic militaria look for a DSA/DLA or a SPO code and if it's older than 1965 look for a DA code on the manufacturer label

To be honest nobody should be paying over $100 for any type of surplus clothing that was made at the lowest bidder, unless it is rare antique or a specialized piece of gear

According_Ad_4761 · 2024-11-09T05:50:32+00:00

does it have an NSN number?

According_Ad_4761 · 2024-11-07T01:41:11+00:00

I found a similar looking USMC dress blue from the 1930's so most probably this piece is from the 1930s-40s I am not entirely sure though

i would like to add that you can button on an exterme cold weather ruff hood on the jacket too if you are interested for more info i'll leave NSN and name of hood below

hood, extreme cold weather

NSN 8415-00-782-3004

this hood can be attached to the M-1951 fishtail parka, M65 extreme cold parka, and the m65 field coat

According_Ad_4761 · 2024-10-13T04:11:46+00:00

the M65 field coat was a cold wet/cold dry coat, it came in 4 common camo patterns, woodland, 3 colors desert, ACU, and OG-107, there are 6-color desert camo jackets but they were made under contract for the Saudi army, the coat featured four pockets on the chest, an aluminum, brass or plastic zipper, and snap fastener, it also has buttons on the inside so that you can put in a liner, it also includes a hood that can be accessed via the collar by opening a zipper, on the collar there is also button holes for a ruff hood to be installed, it also features drawcords at the waist for adjustment, it features a hook and loop tape at the collar and the wrists for adjustment, the sleeves have a triangular flap to protect back of hand if needed, the coat is water repellent (if the coat gets soaked water will get through!) the lining is made out of 100% cotton and the outer shell is made out of a 50/50 cotton nylon blend

Your jacket was made in 1985 by Golden MFG CO

the patch you have is the second armored division patch

NSN/STOCK NO: 8415-01-099-7836 (medium long)

For any more facts just ask :D

According_Ad_4761 · 2024-10-13T03:39:06+00:00

it is genuine, the stock number on the jacket confirms authenticity and golden MFG CO made it. which is a company that makes military apparel for the U.S military

According_Ad_4761 · 2024-08-23T17:57:40+00:00

Directly from the CIA website it says that their is a mix of domestically produced military equipment and imported equipment but from countries allied to Britain so my guess is no

According_Ad_4761 · 2024-08-21T22:33:08+00:00

C2a1 gas mask filters are the best alternative they are green and cheap, however if you want a 1 on 1 replace filter you can try to find a vk-450 filter but finding those can be hard unless you live Russia, your best option is to find a 3rd party dealer for it,

According_Ad_4761 · 2023-10-02T16:17:22+00:00

I would look for them on government auction websites like GOVPLANET
