I picked this up yesterday morning at an estate sale in Chino Hills CA. It must have been stored for many years since issued because it's in outstanding condition. There were a few stains, like spills or something, but I was able to remove them almost completely with a damp rag. What I mean by almost is, the stain disappears but moves over a little when dry as an outer ring if you know what I mean. So I carefully wiped each panel completely and let dry before doing another panel. This did the job leaving the lightly dark ring no place to stick out. I guess what this needs is a good complete dry cleaning and the jacket would be near flawless. There is a barely visible red ink spot near the shoulder pen pouch and two buttons missing in front. Also two tiny nips in the waistband direct center back. Otherwise the best condition parka I've found. This guy was based in Korea during the Vietnam War, Air Defense Command. I got a handful of patches as well that I'll post shortly
