Thx for the thumbs up....Yea the Talon hood zip was a clear non issue addition to better accomodate the crash helmet during its post war use.That is another moda - I think yours is legit. At that px, no need to think at all esp. the condition is so good
But 1 thing, I am only being suspecticle & maybe all wrong, I have seen 2-3 Moda B-11, in my memory all of them are with white fur, I have not seen in my memory a Moda with a brown fur. Moda perhaps is the ONLY B-11 manufacturer that comes with white fur.However, since all other details look fine, it is sufficient to believe it is an original, save the Talon hood Zip, B-11 has no hood zip, IMO.

Thx, but need to rework it, hence a few additional Euro’s...but nothing to worry about.congras. Eur$80 is just enough to buy a late 40's brass main Conmar big bridge zip, now U got the whole jacket !
I always admire your stuff...congrats!Yeah, playing original has all sort of small sum to spend to fix up here & there. I am get used to this
Will start to look for original wearable A-2’s from now on...No, I admire yours rich collection too
have seen a few of these SPLIT HOODED B11's Dave , most of them minus their labels unfortunately .Good stuff! That Talon is still cool and certainly not modern. I would tend to leave it as it was something done in the period. Guess that’s just me.
Did the seller know the guy’s service history? Long career? Post-Korea watches with pre-47 made B-11.

Nice find for, at ¥10,000, a very fair price. What was the shop?Found it in a shop for second hand clothing in Tokyo, this morning.
