Bloodstained US M1942 jump jacket ID’ed W2314
US M1942 jump jacket ID’ed with two different laundry codes, one W2314 and another hard to read inside the neck. The code W2314 indicates Fred Weaver 33272314, 464th Parachute Field Artillery Battailon of the 17th Airborne division. I can not make out the other laundry code, but that would be up to the buyer. There are several wartime rigger style repairs to the garment, and a number of blood stains all over the garment. The jacket shows insignia for the 101st Airborne Division. So Weaver was placed to another unit from the 101st or it was restored as such. I will leave it to the buyer but the sewing on the eagle patch looks old. The zipper is a restoration but functions properly and won’t show on a mannequin. The garment is a textbook, combat worn example.
