AN6552 Willis and Geiger. Just won this jacket on Ebay

I think it is an AN6552 Willis and Geiger. It looks like it was a depot refurbish.

What do you guys think?

Nice looking jacket. I think $100 is good deal personally.

Did the Navy perform refurbishing like the AAF did? Never heard of it myself (which means very little, I know -- just asking).

Yes they did. I own 2 of them that were refurbished. Usually they changed the liner, cuffs, waistband and sometimes the mouton. The white tag sewn below the mouton collar is a telltale sign.
One of my Willis and Geiger was also completely resprayed and had a complete overhaul by the Navy including a mouton collar. The jacket had at least 3 nametags sewn on it. If only it could speak.....

Me think the collar was added by the Royal Shakespeare Company Depot.
