silly BIN
Both appear in Art of the FJ No.01 pages 38 and 88.
Patch on PLP is on crooked.
Artwork is vastly inferior to that shown in the book- rather contemporary look as well.
Artwork on LRB is exactly the same as that in the book down to the Majors rank and the serial number- which isn't the number of the ship (337938)
Patty's butt is far better looking in the book.

It would be a mistake to reject a jacket even for a relatively low sum on the basis that the patches or artwork isnt original.

up a nice jacket like that with bogus artwork. At least you won't get hurt at the price!

The jackets are real aren't they? I read the description, it says nothing about the art work specifically, a report might be for naught.Tranquility Base said:taikonaut said:I think that is the best attitude to take, to see if the jacket alone is worth the price regardless of patches and artworks.

They aren't real. I'm wondering whether to buy it or report it.
