I believe it's research compiled by Dinerman a Fedora Lounge Bartender. (Also his copyright - C Spencer Stewart). I also believe he'll be justifiably annoyed with the facebook 'poster' for not giving him credit for the research.

Credit where credits due. Thanks go to Mr. Spencer Stewart aka Dinerman then!!

Spencer Stewart posted it to the page, so I assume he is okay with it being on Facebook... I can delete the pic, but then the Dinosaurs miss out. Get onto the VLJ on Facebook!!

It's good style and good manners to acknowledge and thank the source of such excellent information and in our increasingly 'litigious' society - good sense - the clue is in the C meaning copyright - if he's bothered to type that he probably appreciates being mentioned as the source and you have, so I don't think you need remove the pic. But as I often say 'my advice - take it or leave it' - no worries.

I hope that last post doesn't come across as too pompous it's not meant to be - I just wanted to stop any trouble brewing.
Ps I'm in the Facebook VLJ too

I think because they are pictures of something Mr. Spencer has no copyright, or legal claim to, there should be no issue.

Nice to visualize all of them in one picture but It looks like the dates are off. The brass one that says 50s for example is not 50s, they started making them in '44-'45. I know because I have N-1 jackets with WWII contracts that have that very same zipper. Same thing with the puller with no Talon written on it, this is not a late 40s one, it is a 1942-1944 puller.
