Hello,

Will someone please tell me, what type of coat is this Verlinden WW2 Airborne General wearing?



I spent hours on Google Images last evening looking at period photographs of officers as well as their equipment. I could find nothing really like this.

Thanks for any help.

Hi, Andrew…

Yes, thank you. I had found a few photos of Mackinaw jackets but not the correct model/variant. I think I see it on the page to which you have directed me.

I appreciate your help.

Hi,

I’m much more familiar with Napoleonic-era uniforms, so identifying everything on this figure has been a challenge.

I think his pants are just standard issue Army fatigue pants? I see no airborne-issue pants without cargo-style pockets. I’m thinking of adding the pockets and the tie strings.
