Usually such auctions start with "Mint condition" and then a have long Wikipedia description of the USAAF!

This B-3 is from H.Bernstein's 1942 contract and appears to have been partially re-sprayed in a USAAF depot. All Bernstein B-3s had Conmar zips and normally had tan facings. This one is not a wearer as it is decaying and has several repairs.

I can't see any of the things you mentioned in his photos, the repairs, the conmar zipper etc, where are they !!

Repairs around the sleeve cuff, upper middle back, the V shape patch, probably several others.
