M-445B ww2 or repro?

[Runrow]

Opinions needed
Real or repro?
Also anyone recognize the squadron patch?
It’s been sold as authentic but the condition reads otherwise to me and the zipper has clearly been replaced with a brand that did not exist prior to 1946

I’d say original due to the size tag.

Looks right to me .

I think it's an original

Thank you all for the opinions. Much appreciated. Here’s the link for the original listing with more pictures that I found.

yes it is original and very very nice. I wonder how much it sold for. I had never seen a M445 with a squadron patch before.

looks like it sold for $1050. Since the zipper was replaced (which is odd because this is usually the last thing to fail on those jackets), the patch may have been added post war as well
