    This is very hard work sometimes. Today I went to two flea markets and probably over 100 yard sales. All in the same town, spent five and a half hours and all I found was a nice Swedishicon overcoat. The insignia is still on the collars. They are sewn on. I did see some other things but either they were way overpriced, something I had no interest in or a combination of the two. All of it was fairly modern and US stuff which is pretty common. I did get a toy tank also, only thing I got at the flea markets.

    Made in 1941, so wartime production. And, it actually fits me which most of these uniforms do not being too small. At $5.00. a pretty good deal also.
