Buzz Rickson Limited Edition L-2B Skyline..any ideas??

[ausreenactor]

Gents..

This is a Buzz Rickson Limited Edition L-2B. Not sure what the patches represent. Does anyone have a catalogue
with details pics. Oddly, number 350/500 another Medium, was listed at the same time. Went for $50 more than
this one. Condition almost identical. Could not have been the 350?? Who knows.. Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards...

Couchy:

I've seen the Buzz D-model, but not with the patches. I'm not sure if the patched version is the limited edition or simply the D-model itself. This jacket is not shown in my catalog, nor does it appear on the Buzz Rickson's website. The patch on the right sleeve appears to be a variation of the 2nd Air Force, but I'll have to get back to you on the others. Nice jacket in any case!

Jim..

Thanks for the post...I have saved the pics of the patched BR stuff as I come across them. And have whacked them in a folder somewhere. This one was a mystery...

Price difference likely due to some subtle condition differences that maybe you didn't pick up on (do you have the auction links?) or possibly to who was the seller.

The ltd number would refer to this particular patched version.

The ltd number would refer to this particular patched version.

And the limited editions often sell out so quickly, and are then deleted ... it's impossible to find one, without knowing first what it's patched up to be.

We will have to wait until Couchy receives the jacket, and posts the BR number from the pocket.

Here's another patched L-B, this one based on the 1957 Tops Apparel ...

Gents..

The jacket arrived today...No Idea what they are trying to represent. Maybe a US Tech Rep??

Model number is M13572.

Patch on left sleeve is a weird triangle...US as seen, Patch on right chest 'Progresso Sine Timore Aut Praejudicio'
Right sleeve. Blue Ribbon Crew, figure 2, Second to None with blue ribbon.

About to google..

Blue Ribbon Crew is an award given by the Strategic Air Command to outstanding crews, seen here ...

Good luck with that ... no useful results for the MI3572, or the Latin.

It must be an older one ... that LSL Garments B-10 I bought from you gets results on Google, and it's MI3764.

Puzzling ... :?

David..

Blue Ribbon is on the money. Exact match for the Second Air Force patch...

Will take some pics when I bring the camera home from work..

Couchy..

And Well Done, as always!!

Thought I'd found it ...

But no, here's another, more recent, patched, 1960 Skyline at Soen ...
