Today when I recieved it I replaced the band. I had an original WWII OD green band, which they normally came with. What do ya think? It keeps perfect time!

Guys, I need a bid of wisdom here. I picked up a few items and I need to know what they are? Below I have listed a few pics. In the first are colonel "pin Back" Insignia, I have never seen this type before, I need help to decipher its orgin or era. I have also picked up this watch, It reads: 6/0...

I thought these patches were 3" originally?

Can anyone tell me anything about this patch? Seems really small??

I used acrylic paint, much easier to work with in my opinion.

Well I finished the Jacket today. All hand painted by me. It is an A-2 horside by Cockpit USA. The patch is hanpainted on leather, the shoulder patch is on blue felt Bullion, Bullion wings and captain bars. I have the Capri bell 1945, and the RAF whistle. :D No the jacket dont feel like...

Thanks for the response guys!

I have purchased a Cockpit USA WWII Government Issue A-2 Horse hide Jacket #Z2107H any one have any pics or comments about this jacket?? please!

I'm assuming that the wool patch is the same, not on a leather backing. The wool sewn directly to the jacket?

Here is a New patch I made, 8th USAAF, 91 BG, 323 bombardment sq. Opinions welcome!

How were the Wings mounted on the WW2 A-2's. I posted my wings below. I could use help on getting this wright.

Bump!!

Any one have a pic of the Cockpit USA WWII Government Issue A-2 Horse hide Jacket Z2107H? Inside and Out? Also on the shoulder what patch should I use the 8th or the AAF regular?

sure thing

Thanks, for the wonderfull and helpfull info. I was thinking of placing the 91st group patch on the left side or Painting the name "The Ragged Irrigulars" with 25 bombs under the name as to depict the bomb missions she flew. But both patches are so purdy! Most likely I will keep true to the norm...
