[CBI]

a pretty cool jacket but something is off. I'll bet it was done post CBI tour as it was very rare to see these insignia, flags, chit painted on a jacket, most always patched items. Not saying its not legit but if I had the money I would probably pass.

Agree, painted CBI stuff is rare/odd. Interesting to see a very similar paint job appear only a few days ago:

And it went for a silly sum of money.

Can't speak for the other, but wife says the chit is done in Chinese hand with a brush. Likely a rare but real deal. I said likely, not certainly. Also very likely that if it is theater done, it was while they were sitting around waiting to go home.
