This is an original M43 pile liner, tagged size 36R. I have documented all damage / stains in the photos. Inner pile lining is pristine, as well as the green twill lined pockets. Wool sleeve lining also looks in great shape. Knit cuffs have some holes but are sturdy and in mostly great shape. Large tear on right sleeve, one smaller tear on left sleeve.
