I didn't snap a pic, but it has a blackish Talon zipper, which I think is unique to this model. Really cool jacket.

Nice, did they know what they had? Pickins seem good there, only a couple hours from here :twisted:

I don't know. $240. I can't seem to get an estimate on it's value. I've searched previous sales of similar jackets and they go anywhere from $150 to the moon. This one is nice. Doesn't look it it was worn much, only some surface issues on the back and a hole in the waist knit. And the missing button. The goatskin is in excellent condition, so I can wear this one around.

The tag looks too nice. I don't know whether it could have been a replacement. But I have a feeling this jacket just sat and sat.

I'd say that's a good deal, but all I'll say here is that I'd drop that much in a heartbeat for a period jacket in that condition. Especially where it fits you so well.

Sorry again for not uploading the images here. I'm really intrigued by this one. On the entire internet, only one or two google search results (in Japanese) pop up for this particular contract. I know the label is indicative of the month of manufacture, right? There was a website that listed the numbers and their production dates, but this one was not on there.

Contract- N288s-32357
Willis And Geiger Inc
