M-422 or G-1 ??? (war time or post war)

[NickG]

Is this an M-422 or a G-1? In other words war time or post war?

Its being offered to me for $95 bucks... but the size is small...(non wearable...value?)
The pocket flaps are pointed, the mutton fur collar is pointed and it has a USN stencil...
Those are good signs for it to be ww2, right? Not wearable but good for a display.
Thoughts?

The war finished toward the end of the AN6552 (AN-J-3A) series, 55J14 all had stencils, and their use continued into the 7823 series G-1's ... It's not a M-422, but I guess if it's for display, no ones's going to argue.

Thanks David
So its not a G-1 (or war time M-422 equivalent) but rather an AN6552 (=AN-J3-A) late war, is that what you're saying?
So is it war time or not? (I'm not familiar with 55J14 spec...)
and is $95 bucks worth it?

Unless one of the resident experts can pick up on some detail, I'm saying that no one can say with any certainty from those pictures, but that my guess would be post war.

Variations in patterns are more between makers, than the different specs. AN6552 ... 55J14 ... 7823.

$95.00 .... sure.

Thanks David. I received a PM from John (buzzthetower) stating that it's definitely a Cagleco G-1, made in the 7823 series...
So that means its post war I take it...

 

[deeb7]

So that means its post war I take it...

.... 1954.

Thanks, OK I will pass on it...1944 would have been more desirable!

If it was an ANJ-3A or an AN-6552 it would only have an US stencil. If I'm not mistaken it also has a later type of zipper found on the 7823A series (made of nickel?), maybe a replacement from the early sixties ?

> not sure if the AN-J-3A had USN or just US stencil.........maybe both were around ?

Both were used.
