Zipper Pull - Orchard made G-1

[MSC100]

Just curious if anyone out there has seen a zipper pull on the G1 like this one from Orchard MFG, (1986).

Wow thanks Mike for letting me know on this. Had never seen one like this so thought it was some kind of added thing when the original broke. Variations abound on these G1’s I guess. I do the love this jacket and it is my daily wear preference - heavy duty (thick) leather in this one.

Paperclip Puller - interesting. Was this a unique style puller as opposed to the usual steps they used in other makes?

To my knowledge, paper clips zips were common for G-1s from the 7823B series to the 7823E(AS) of the 80s then the E series DSCPs (modern G-1s) went with the YKK style no.10 zips. 7832 (AER)s and younger went with a no.5 Conmar, I believe. @Jorgeenriqueaguilera is the expert though!

you can always replace the leather part of the pull with a strip of goatskin. i like that better than the original folded and bradded.
