Nice jacket. I had one that I thought was the police winter jacket but it turned out to be the almost identical wartime Hungarian Army jacket. One of the tip-offs was the brown plastic buttons and the drawstrings.

Here is my old Hungarian jacket. Luckily, I was able to return this jacket when I discovered my mistake.

Joe, Interesting reversible jacket and thanks for posting! I've always been on the watch for one of those as there is just something about them that I find so intriguing! Anyhow, are there any markings?

Hello,

Not a neat coat like posted above, but "combat" none the less; here is my Gendarm combat tunic with same color cuffs and collar. Dave will of course recognize this one Razz

Dear Joe,

Yes, I'm afraid I do tend to over do the display sometimes. Too much free time Wink

Thanks,

It is one of only a very few that I do have. Neither the space nor the money to collect too many of these things Big Grin
