Crown Zipper - #9 - Source

[ChristianM.]

Hello gents,

Does anyone know a source where you can buy NOS/used Crown zippers?
I am searching for a particular style. See the pictures for reference. Its supposed to be a "#9" Crown.

It also would help me, if anyone can tell me the background story about this "#9" Zippers. The internet tells me, they were used for USSAF shearling lined flight boots, B-15C/B-15D jackets and flying vests. Truth or bogus?

Thank you!

All i can think of is http://www.mash-japan.co.jp/oversea/, but they don't have #9 there.

Already checked Mash Japan. But came up empty.

One more picture for reference that i found:

I've only ever seen this style of slider on flying boots. I don't think they were ever used on B-15C's or D's. I'd say that would be a difficult zipper to find. What is it you need one for ?
