Thanks @Ed Rooney!233086741784
This is mine from the same contract, hope it helps.If anyone buys it, please take some good close-ups of the Talon zipper. From what I can see, it is pre-1938. It would help with another project I am working on.
I think you're getting at a question I've had for a little while now - Eastman's guide gives the dates for when the contracts were let (FWIW, for the 16159 it was Nov. 2 1940), but how long was it from getting the contract to delivering the finished product?
