US Army Korean War Era M51 1951 Fishtail Parka REPRODUCTION?

Description

This is a US Army Korean War era M51 Fishtail Parka
. I am a little baffled by this parka and several things about it btell me that it may be a reproduction. To start with the early M51 parkas had the attached hoods and I really don't believe that this one is that old. The original parkas also have the size printed on the inside of the hood and the other information printed on the inside of the back below the collar. There is nothing printed in those areas and no evidence that anything was ever printed there. There are also no tags or any information in this parka to indicate when or where this one was made. The snaps and the waist string also look different then the ones on an original parka. For some reason someone also sewed an elbow patch on the sleeve. The patch is only sewn on halfway and there are no holes or wear under that patch. With all that said I have no idea when this was made and it is being sold as a reproduction or it was possibly made for thr fashion market. . Laying flat on the floor it measures 28" across the chest from underarm to underarm. It also measure 40" from the bottom back of the collar down to the bottom of the front and 23" from the shoulder seam down to the bottom of the sleeve. As far as the condition is concerned the two buttons holes on the tabs at the top for the liner are torn and need to be reinforced. There is also a light stain in the wrist area on the left sleeve and the parka may have also faded but overall it is is pretty decent shape.
