I bought ths the other day and need some information on it. Its seems the real deal but I just want to check. Looks like an upto 1941 era 2 piece flying jacket. No pockets, belt along the bottom with brass buckle, Clix zips although main zip is broken, leather tags on zips, honey coloured fur, no tags/labels, brass hanging chain riveted through the back of the collar with brass fixings. belt on the collar which I think is later with a silver buckle. Also has a hole in the back which I was told was a bullet hole. All the fur inside around the hole has been cut away as if to remove the blood? there is wear to the fur on the cuffs and along the bottom of the jacket. Various marks and wear to the jacket i.e on the shoulders, creases on the arms where they bend etc... Also has the breathers under the armpits. Ive had a few of these and this one deffo seems to fit in with the others ive had.
