Paul R Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 At my wife's beconning, I have significantly thinned out a lot of my collection. I lost money big time, but I was able to do a straight trade to get this M43. I feel that it is the real deal, as it has a few oddities that are in common with the known originals.

Paul R Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Insignia close up... this is the very tunic that was used in Angolia's Reference book. The only bummer is that someone along the way swapped out the shoulder straps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
