Weasel_Loader said:Decent original. C.H. Masland & Sons is by far the most common contract available and ones in this condition are quite common in Large and X-Large. It has had some use by evidence of paint rubbed off on snaps and zipper looks to be missing on sleeve pocket. Strangely interior decal is in great shape as is pocket tag. Maybe it was worn hard for a short time. :lol:
