Thanks Patrick !

It's going to be one of my 4 models made of Ventile.
Full front zip modification though.

Btw, I haven't seen yet a US WW2 ski anorak. Only the reversible pullover parka.
There is one resembling the British SAS smock but I think it's post war.
What did the 10th Mountain Division wear in war ?

This is an original WW2 anorak received by my uncle (Romanian army) from a german soldier. He was told by the german who gave him this anorak, that he got it from a finnish soldier. I have not seen this model in period photos. Any hints anyone ?
