I took a risk and ordered this jacket for $110 shipped, about two weeks ago from eBay seller xinwater.
Here's the link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/USAF-Army-...ket-Military-L2-Fall-Nylon-Coat-/332500137482
The photos online make the jacket look almost blue-gray, but in person the color is a nice Air Force blue contrasting with a lighter blue lining. Cut seems about right for an L-2A, definitely not made to fit like a suit jacket!
Cuffs are seamless, which is a nice touch, and a shade or two darker blue than the rest of the jacket. Snaps are painted a shiny black.
Zipper is left-hand pull, marked "CONMAR" with what feels like a fake leather pull tab.
The tag hardly reads like a real L-2A tag (missing "Light Zone", sized S-XL instead of numbered sizes, nonexistent spec number, DSA code, etc) but at least it's the correct typeface and colors. Looks fine from a distance. Decal is also off, should read "U.S. AIR FORCE"
The shoulder decal looks pretty good, but oddly seems to be a shade yellower than white. The epaulettes are also a bit shorter than original, based on pictures.
Overall, the quality is very good and it's a well-made jacket for the price. Very happy with it's light construction so I can wear it on these bitter cold California days
