Poncho, Synthetic Resin Coated, OD. We have a small batch of mint unissued WWII hoodless ponchos. Ponchos are the synthetic resin type with drawcord at neck, Ink stamp can be a little hard to see, but I believe all are 1945 dated. This poncho is in unissued condition and is completely pliable. The white marks in the photo are the packing talc to prevent ponchos from sticking together. These 4 ponchos were packed in with a box of unissued late 50's dated ponchos. These ponchos have gotten much harder to find and almost unheard of in pliable condition. It would be almost impossible to upgrade these. Learn More
