WWII Japanese Army Uniform, EM/NCO Jacket/Tunic, 1942
PRE-NOTE: It appears that this jacket has been used extensively, especially during the post-war period. Post-war use is evident due to: 1) Extensive indications of wear and use. 2) The original military buttons have been removed and replaced with commercial buttons. 3) The military stamp has been covered-up by a sew-on cloth patch. I didn't remove the patch. I'll let the next owner use their discretion about removal, or not.
