This is a Rothco Fake, not the genuine USA Wool Blanket
The Amszon ad for this item, "Olive Drab Wool Bed Blanket, Genuine U.S. Military Surplus; NSN: 7210-00-282-7950." The NSN this ad depicts is for a Northwestern Wool Mills genuine USA Military Blanket as sold for $40 by NWWM on their own site. This turns out to be a Rothco fake. I could have bought a Rothco fake for $20 rather than the $48 I spent on this blanket. There is NO NSN stamped anywhere on the tag or blanket that was sent. The tag says Rothco 70% wool 30% Synthetic fibers (non wool). The real genuine USA Military NSN blanket is made of 80% virgin wool and 20% recycled wool fibers. There is nothing I hate more than a bait and switch. I was to depend on this blanket to survive winter camping and bush crafting campouts. I cannot do this with the fake blanket that was sent.
