Original U.S. WWII Ledo Road CBI Rare British-Made Pattern Battledress Uniform Jacket with Theater-Made Bullion Insignia

Original Item. One-of-a-Kind. Your eyes do not deceive you! This may look very much like an “Ike” Jacket, but it’s actually an earlier British-made battledress utilized by an American soldier. This example is made of very fuzzy wool and almost resembles a teddy bear of the period. This uniform was utilized by a member of the Ledo Road Construction crew in the CBI (China-Burma-India) Theater. The uniform bears a gorgeous bullion theater-made CBI patch on the left shoulder, and a great unique leather patch for Ledo Road. There are Master Sergeant chevrons on both sleeves. The left breast pocket has a bunch of cedar shavings to protect the jacket from moths. There is a small tear in the back of the jacket. The underside of the shoulder straps and securing band on the bottom of the uniform are reinforced with a blue rayon fabric. The Ledo Road patch has some damage with a piece loose, but is in fair shape considering it’s a leather patch. This is a fantastic jacket with tons of character,
