Every now and then, even a blind hog finds an acorn.
Last week I saw this old CWU-45P badly listed on e-bay. I decided not to even waste a snipe on it. I just put a ten dollar bid on it out in the wide open. I ended up being the only person interested and won it for 99 cents plus shipping.
It arrived today, and it is one of the older CWUs with the pleated back. The tag is missing and the cuffs are in marginal condition but it is undoubtedly the real deal from the seventies.
By the way, it has a Serval zipper. Could this be a clue as to manufacturer and date of issue?
Here's a photo from the auction.
