Hugh

Hey Hugh !no probs here buddy ! I do like a good discussion on anything AAF related !
Hoping there will be some other input on this one !
Im no expert Hugh BTW ! just got OCD with this stuff , i feel like the A2 debate has run its course now regarding its research , so im all for unravelling the B3 saga !
If i can help Hugh , i will gladly
What do you think of my theory then regarding purchase orders against contracts ? Plausible?

Anj3 was 1943 right? so any shearlings before that are B'3

 

[Spitfireace]

No I feel like there has not been enough research on B3 shearlings and also Irivins.. so although I love A2s as we all do.. I still need to know more about more stuff..

[Spitfireace]

Lol ! thats what you get when its late and your tired !!

 

[Carl]

Dont hold your breath while waiting for pics of the B3 ! It arrived and im now trying to get it sent back !!
Experiance should have told me to ask for more pics !!

 

[Carl]

Guttted, disappointed doesnt even come close !

 

[Carl]

So after sleeping on what to do with this , send it back or keep it and try and get it sorted .
Thoughts please guys .

 

[Carl]

These are the pics that were supplied by the seller , i obviously did ask him if there were any issues with the jacket " no , no issues "

After looking again , i dont think these are photos that the seller took but are from the seller who he originally bought it from .
Boy do i feel mugged !!!

Blimey Carl, I’m only guessing but it looks like a possibility that the previous owner bought it, then wore it and found it starting to disintegrate so moved it on again and it’s ended up with you.

I feel for you pal, I really do. Send it back and get your refund would be my vote sadly.

 

[Carl]

Have since found a pic on FB with him wearing it !!
Im gutted as ive alwways wanted a "Redskin" B3 to display with some A3's i have.
Ok , it might display ok , as long as its not looked at closely but not the point i suppose when you ask if there are any issues with it ! .

The price would have to have been a real deal for me to keep that jacket. The issues that are visible are nothing compared to what you can’t see going on with that hide. As a display piece it would be ok but as I said only if you paid next to nothing for it. Just my 2 cents worth.

 

[stanier]

And knowing your love for mint and NOS type items I think you’ll never be happy.

If it’s possible reverse the deal.

The seller and i both know each othet Chris, he knows me and what i like , i just feel like ive had the p**s took right out of me ! Its the lack of disclosure , if he does this to someone he knows , whats he going to do to some unknown !??

That is pretty sh*tty behaviour, was it from fleabay or a private sale? Surely the seller must know that not only will you not buy from him again, but he's going to have ruined his rep with other collectors?

 

[Carl]

Private seller @Tommy .
I havnt got a leg to stand on as i paid friends and family as we know each other .

Anyone want a cheap B3 !

 

[Carl]

Got to try and get some of my money back , im in no financial situation to be laying out that sort of money
