I haven't visited the forum in quite some time now and it is with great sadness that I read of David's passing. I always found it comforting that in addition to his wealth of knowledge on our obscure topic he remained always a positive voice often when tensions had risen over political topics...

Dumbo on the patch looks like he pooped that parachute...

I have bought two originals one mint unissued for $10 off of eBay and lightly worn for $15 off of eBay. They run pretty big for the purposes of layering. I normally wear a 38-40 and the fit of a 34 is perfect for me although the sleeves are almost too short. My 38 fits like a circus tent unless...

Sweet G-1 you got there Hacker! Wear it well.

Nice work Silver Dollar.

I see you edited to photos to look less "rambler" :D
