my first A2

[dujardin]

hello guys,

i'm really happy; yesterday i receive my first A2.
she's well worned and also cracky but i'm mad about her; MY FIRST ONE.
there was a name tag sewned on but not more present.
also a patch on the shoulder, probably 4 or 9th AF.
the lining have some tears.
zipper is a Conmar.
size is 38, a little bit too small for me.
she's not more daily wearable

Very nice looking 1756 contract, Marcel. I like the shade of brown...too. Did you get it off ebay or a private sale??
