Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:262465 |
This flight jacket was acquired just a couple years ago, but I have since acquired even nicer jackets formy collection. This jacket is in near mint condition with original period specific waistbands, cuffs, zipper, liner, and mouton fur collar. I bought this from a veteran whose father flew during World War II, and his fat...her acquired it byswapping a sword and pistol for it. According to the man I bought it from, neither he nor his father every wore it. And you can tell by the condition of the goatskin is near immaculate condition.
As you can see from the photos this jacket is in near mint condition and it is a very rare size 48. I actually have twoof these jackets now and need to get rid of one of them.
