hell, it looks almost as nice as his repro werber. just about as rare as they come, and due to the hide issues, small size, and rarity, a collectors mannequin rider

It's also a little small for you Vic!

I saw this this morning as well, did a double take. Shame about the top of thre arms as the rest of the leather looks to be in fantastic shape.

There was a stunning B-10 size 38 that was up for a brief second before selling as well. $599 or nearest offer. Wonder what it went for.

Nice! This one had a proper result. Scarcity will still bring a high dollar value, I guess? That jacket is almost as rare as the SAT, and seems to have sold accordingly. I fully expected it to sell for around $3,500 all in.

I think it sold for less than one would expect, especially in the light of how rare jackets from this contract are. I know of three in existence today. Had it been a large size it would easily have made $3,500.

It's nice to see detailed photos of an original. I've just compared it to my ELC Werber and the ELC stands up pretty well.

I agree Peter. It is an excellent reproduction and probably my favourite original maker A2 jacket from Eastman. It's a shame the early Talon zip slider/puller is not reproduced accurately. Hookless zippers were not used on the contract.
