Probably owned by a VERY large desk clerk. I had a Star A-2 in size 48 in very much the same shape. May be Burt, {the guy I sold it to}, can post a few pics to compare condition.

Orginal.

The way the collar has creased is a dead give away, something to do with the original packing I imagine, so many 1942 Aero A-2s have the same strange creases

Looks original to me. Any bets on the final amount it will achieve?

The last original in this sort of condition sold on our site (a Bronco) made £1000, that was a size 38" so go figure

If that P-P measurement is correct hell that's way to big for just about everone. How about Ken what would that be sized ?, 50

 

[B-Man2]

I have a size 48 original Star with a P-P of 26. That’s an easy size 50

 

[Ken at Aero Leather]

It's probably a 52" based on my experience of that pattern, shame the size tag is missing

 

[Ken at Aero Leather]

Based on how we priced A-2 in The Thrift Shop (Add 10% for each size up)
A size 52" in the same nick as good £300 38" would have been priced at £765, I do recall selling an unpatched 48" for about £700, I don't remember us having any bigger A-2
A good A-2 in an average size with insignia and provenance would have been in the £600 region at the same time.... 1982-3

Very low starting price, why so, to grab our attention? Yes interested to see what it goes for as has been said.

Does anyone think the label is a replacement? Its very new.

I be interested if you have a size 38 original A2 in that condition

Not I Burt although I was watching and did consider having a punt on it. Bit big for me though.
