Buzz Rickson - my BR B-10 has a Crown. I noticed that while the pull has "Crown" on it the stopper has "Cane's" (as in Sugar Cane).
All BR Crown zip's like this?

Hey!, so's mine, and I never noticed .... I guess they are.

Ah well, I also have Talons with the sliders marked Rickson's, and McCoy.

In my opinion, I think it is good that the repro zippers have modern markings on them, although I would prefer them somewhere inconspicious, like on the back of the stopper. It prevents non-experts out there from buying used jackets with a repro zipper, thinking they are getting NOS.
