I just received a new Star Eastman A2 two days ago from Charles at HPA. Gorgeous jacket and I am thrilled. I thought I remember reading/seeing that the lining on these jackets had two inspector marks. The small AN mark in black, and the slightly larger army air forces star in circle mark in white. My jacket came with only the AN mark, no white star.
First, can someone confirm that both marks should be present on the Star lining? And second, if so, suggestions? When you pay a lot for an original maker jacket, the little details are important. Thought of tying to find the rubber stamps floating around for a while and stamping it myself, but those seemed to have dried up.
