"Very early patches."

On top of it all, the shredded sleeve for the price is insulting.

Sorry -- I take back the previous statement; "Made in Korea" is most insulting.

Really? Secret FJ factory in Korea hidden from the Japanese and shipping to the AAF by submarine?

Jan you certainly picked the worst one to date. Crass is what comes to mind.

I saw that a while ago. The room and man match the jackets condition.

We should make a contest... Worst Ebay jackets. I think the $150,000 jacket could be in that.

Not quite in the same league as your example but for me pretty bad:

It’s like dumpster diving and posting it on ebay…

….. I got nothin…..

I know, right? I've seen falling apart jackets being sold for a ton of money, I've seen obvious fakes being sold for a ton of money, but this may be the first time I've seen both in one jacket.

Edit: on the bright side, the the auction has been canceled "due to an error in the listing."

 

[B-Man2]

I have to ask the obvious question……
Has anyone contacted this guy thru EBay and broke the bad news to him yet ?

Edit: I just checked the listing and it’s been “ended”.

I bought it. Offered the seller $1100 offline. Was in the market for a Korean War period piece. It obviously had seen quite a bit of wear and tear dogfighting above the Yalu.
