hi everyone. i'm familiar with most of the old, vintage military jackets out there, but i found this piece today, and because it's been so slow, i bought it. i think it has a nice look to it and might fetch a few bucks here on ebay, but i'm not sure what it is. the shell is od green and the lining is military green wool, like the blankets, but there's no QM Depot tag anywhere to be found. it has a chinstrap under the top collar as well as a button on the opposing side. it's in pretty good condition for its age. i'm wondering if anyone out there knows what it is? i don't imagine it's worth a fortune, but like i say it's been slow lately and i'd like to list it. any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks

Third Pattern 1943 Mackinaw (Jeep Coat), fairly rare item as it hade the shortest production run of the 3 patterns. It was replaced by the M1943 Field Jacket.
