A while back I got my hands on a Willis & Geiger G-1 on ebay for a steal, sans presentable cuffs. The contract number is N383S-39943. If I had to guess, I'd say it was made for the civilian market: there's no USN perforation, and on the inside of the jacket next to the windflap there's a leather patch with gold naval aviator wings that reads "Authentic U.S. Navy G-1 Flight Jacket From Original Designer Manufacturer". I've wondered when it was made as well as its quality compared to other G-1s. Can anyone help me out? Hopefully the black tag counts for something.
