GoodTimesGone said:I am normally wary of ebay postings that claim "private purchase jacket" but this one looks legit. It would not be unusual especially for a flyer that went on to serve in the Korean War to buy his own jacket to replace a lost or worn-out A-2.

I know nothing about this, however I would agree with Roughwear, just a gut feeling.Roughwear said:bebel said:I'm not sure that this jacket is from the Korean war period.

Franck, I know that vets applied earlier insignia/patches/art work to later jackets. In this case I do not think this is the case. The style of the Conmar Zipper is correct for the late 1940s. Civilian jackets like this one were often advertised in mail order catalogues from the pre-Korean War period.
