Would like info on another jacket.

[Ualman]

This time it’s about another LW Foster 7823(AER).
The label also mentions amendment #2, and it has the silver/white USN stencelling in the middle of the collar.

Couldn’t find anything about the version of this contract.
What would be the year(s) it was produced, and what would be the difference between other 7823?
Both LW Foster and other manufacturers.

Thank you all very much!
Guus

Hi @Ualman

That is a nice contract from fiscal year; 1955. I own both LW’s and basically the only difference I see between them is the USN stenciled on the back of the collar on the LW 7823 (AER) & Amend. The LW 7823(AER) from fiscal year; 1958 has the USN punched on the windflap. I did a review of mine a couple months ago, perhaps it will be helpful.

G-1 L.W. FOSTER 7823 (AER) AMEND. #2 (VP-21)

L.W. Foster produced probably one of the best G-1’s IMO, but this AMEND. #2 is a rare variation of 7823 (AER), fiscal year 1955. It belonged to P2V Neptune pilot who flew in VP-21 Patrol Squadron. This beauty is in great condition, considering it’s around 65 years old. Leather is very supple...
