Hi guys, now I'm properly home I could take a proper look at the original Aero I bought, absolutely beautiful, didn't need much doing to it, I just went over it with some sapo oil but its very supple, the collar wear inside and liner wear back of collar and armpits are consistent with been really used properly, who knows what the story is for the past 80 years, the brass talon zipper is like butter, no teeth loss, even has the original lieutenant bars on each epaullette, and fit, great, I'll do a pic of it on later, I will wear it occasionally but not all the time even though its a good wearer :) here's some new pics, all said and done I'm still in shock I'm the owner of this after that silly auction price

Guys do you think the zipper has been replaced? It's brass not steel and the puller straight and not bell shaped, it doesn't look like it's been replaced and research dates the puller from late 30,s to mid 40,s no complaints though if it has

Nice looking A-2! Hard to tell unless we can see a clear pic of the stopper box. From what I can see, it looks like a 50's - 60's Talon to me. Again, nice jacket!
