World War II USN theatre camouflaged foul weather pullover parka and pair of World War II USN foul weather deck overall bibs. This is the rarer variant of the U.S. Naval deck jacket with snap hooks and not the tie strings. The example is wonderfully camouflaged with green and brown paint which mimics the frogskin camouflage that was worn by US Marines in the Pacific Theater of Operations. The specification tag is still sewn to the lower interior of the pullover and is marked as a size "Medium". The pullover remains supple and all of the snaps function properly. Accompanying the pullover is a pair of foul weather bibs that are complete with their original suspenders. The bibs exhibit discoloration and staining but remain supple. This is a very rare example of a foul weather deck jacket, as they are seldom seen with any type of camouflage. CONDITION: Very good. JLD
