It's a Spiewak. Notice the ring snaps. The zipper sewn very close to the leather on the non-windflap side. The collar clip installed near the edge of the windflap instead of in the middle.

Also kinda neat that it appears to have one of those Conmar Conmatic zippers, instead of the crowns and talons that Spiewaks are normally seen with.

A first! Always thought A-2s didn't have round holes in the zipper pulls.
