If it is not attributed to a 23rd pilot.....A nice original aero size 42 is in the 850-1,300 range. The money is in the patch. If original, (which it appears to be from the picture shown) the 23rd patch could fetch $1,500-$2,500. I know the patch price I gave is a big range, but I have seen original 23rd patches sell for both of those and in between over the years.
These numbers are of course my opinion, but the best way to value a jacket (assuming it isn't named) is by the sum of its parts. Better photos would also help to determine the authenticity of the patch and true condition of the jacket.
If it is attributed to a 23rd pilot, that would add to the value of course. A named 23rd A-2 jacket sold for $12,500 on eBay a couple years ago. I sold one for 11K about 5 years back.

No problem. All things considered, that is a pretty good offer. I would take it. Best of luck with the sale.

Fine me one or ten at $200-300 a piece and I'll buy them all from you.
That adds up to a lot of FINES then! :lol:

The patch alone. 1000.00 up is about right.

Hey Stony,
I haven't ever seen one sell publicly for even remotely close to that low of a price. I guess if a guy is lucky enough to find one at a estate sale or in a similar odd setting, it would be possible. The last one that I know of to hit the market brought $1,950 last year, and in a down economy. They aren't a very easy patch to find.

Agreed. Split S did a very good job. I haven't seen anyone else come very close. The G&B is not good at all.
