AUTENTICA GIACCA DI VOLO TIPO A-2 DELLA SECONDA GUERRA MONDIALE. A differenza della A-1, che era ancora chiuso con i tasti, la A-2 è stato migliorato con cerniere robuste, che sono state fabbricate da una corona, Kwik, Talon o Conmar.

The contract number indicates that this is a Cable Raincoat Company made A2 , however the zip with that contract was an M-40 Conmar #5 pin lock , gilt plated according to Eastmans A2 Manual. Maybe the puller was replaced or the entire zipper. I see a lot of empty holes with no stitching at the top part of the zip.

I just noted that this seller has 0 feedback . I would be concerned about dealing with him.

Looks a bit funky...agree.

That said. Everyone needs to start somewhere but it’s hard when such a high priced item is their first foray into ebay land. Course I never leave feedback so could just be no one else has who he sold to.

Why don't you leave feedback?

 

[jeremiah]

Because I don’t think much about it most of the time. I don’t expect feedback to be given to me and don’t ever look much. Sometimes I do leave when I think about it.
So I guess “never” was hastily used.

When you sell something it's good to get FB because it tells you that the buyer is happy and you don't have to wonder for weeks if he's going to try to shaft you with a chargeback or something. Increasingly eBay members are not bothering with FB though and are treating it like Amazon - just a buying platform. Even sellers don't seem to bother as much as they did. I've been a member for almost as long as it's been going in the UK and It's changed hugely for the worse in that time.

I much preferred it when it was people selling stuff to each other. Before they got greedy and upped the fees and started to lose interest in non business sellers and just wanted to attract the same companies that sell cheap new tat on Amazon Marketplace.
