MA-1 legit contract or fake?

[eamenos]

Hello,

I have a doubt about this MA-1 contract. Is it military or a commercial version? What makes me doubt the most is that "Skyline Clothing Coporation" is written instead of "Skyline Clothing Corporation" and there is no DSA

Thank you. I attach the photo. If it is useful, zippers are Conmar.

Hahahahaha, who knows, it could very well be a legitimate typo. After all, it’s government work.

Looks legit to me. Never came across a non-military Skyline. The typo could well be exactly that-a typo. No expert on the intricacies of US govt. contracts (but I know there are those here who are), but prepared to bet the lack of a DSA don’t necessarily mean it’s not issued.

looks OK and legit to me.

1962 Skyline Clothing Corp. MA-1

Hi, guys, I just thought I'd share my latest acquisition with you. Just took delivery on this super clean 1962 MA-1 from Skyline Clothing Corporation and I'm very excited! This thing is in great shape. Really beautiful. Maybe a total of 3 little nips on the knits, a couple of spots on the nylon...

But if you look at the following picture of another Skyline MA-1 jacket, there are differences between them. In this one, Skyline is written correctly, despite other things.

Yeah well, I haven't got any further info, I do what I usually do: a quick search on the net to check on plausability. I this case the tag to me appears plausable enough as an original.
Notice that the percentage wool-nylon differs in the last jacket.

It's got a Federal Stock number (FSN), so I'd think it's an issue item.
