US WW2 M42 Reinforced Modified Paratroopers Pants, Named
SOLD
In a very good and light combat worn condition a nice pair of Modified M1942 Paratrooper pants. This stunning pair shows the early modification as done by the paratroopers during the invasion of Italy and North Africa. The side pockets are sewed down which was supose to reinforce the pockets. Also leg straps cut from a cargo parachute were added and sewed in to secure the pockets during the jump. This is one of the earlest style of modification seen on the M42 paratrooper combat uniform.
It comes in a good mannequin size with all buttons and snaps in working condition.
On the inside it is marked with an officers army serial number and also the name ”Flanagan” can be seen. No further reaserch was done by us. A stunning pair of early modified paratrooper pants!
