That is just great. Yes, even though everything may not be authentic to the core, it is a an authentic jacket and as you said, will go very nicely amongst the other things in your collection.
I hope to get a combat engineers jacket some day. But that will have to wait until more money is in the ol' pockets. Right now I am settling for pins and patches to add to my collection.
Did I tell you I have an artillery shell, some ammo, a helmet, etc. from my husband's uncle Fletcher who was in WWI? I should take photos and put them up on the site someday. Ah, so many things I want to do at once. 
Congrats on your acquistion my friend.
Oh before I forget. I just about flipped when I got my email tonight. All my email goes through MailWasher before it's allowed in Outlook and I saw your name, but it was in color (it colors spam) and under the BLACKLISTED column. I said, "WHAT?" Then I looked again and it had your name as from, but not your email address. It was one of those damned bank scams from Africa. It was even signed by Steve Cole. I don't know if that was a coincidence, or these darned spammers are picking up names to fool people into opening them. Egad!
