An original, near mint US WWII officer's Ike jacket, labeled large size 42S, April 1945 dated, 8th Infantry Division, 28th Infantry Regiment tribute jacket. The jacket only came with the sewn on 8th ID patch. All other pins, badges and the bullion overseas bars were added by me as follows: Two 28th Infantry Regiment, Meyer marked pin-backs (one of the DI's is missing the locking clasp); matching pin-back 1st Lt. bars; snowflake back US and infantry pins with early war and mid-war clutches; Sterling marked CIB badge with Sterling clutches; Sterling marked, pin-back marksman badge with pistol tab (missing locking clasp on the main badge);pin-back presidential unit citation badge with open clasp; 3 place ribbon with 4 campaign stars on the ETO bar (per 8th Infantry Division campaign history) and a pin-back bronze-star ribbon. The jacket shows very moderate wear with the only issues being a couple very small holes and a repair just to the right of the upper center seam in back. The tag indicates an April 1945 date with a large size of 42S Measurements as follows: armpit to armpit seam -23"; waist side seam to side seam - 20.5"; shoulder to shoulder seam - 20"; sleeve length measured from top shoulder seam to cuff - 23"
