large A-2 (48)

[Hawkeye]

Replaced lining, cuffs and waistband and no label, but if its as large as it says then it might make a very good wearer for a BIN of 500.00. Im not too sure about the artwork though.

We need Simon... the jacket looks old, but I'm not convinced about the rest. If it's real it's too cheap, but is that what everyone's thinking? If it quacks like a duck...

Not real insignia. There's only a select few known original 23rd FS jackets.
They would never see Ebay.

To my uneducated eye it looks like an Aero repro. Where has the hanger gone though ?
