This is not the first time I have seen some one trying to pass off an Eastman A2 as a WW2 original.

Crazy!!

It takes all sorts in this hobby!

I've sent him a link to the Eastman website;-)

i sent the sell a message that in effect said that the jacket is a reproduction made by eastman leather co. , blah, blah, blah. most of the time sellers who dont know, are not happy to get the news, but are grateful that they are not going to end up with a pissed off buyer, and the hassles. however, there are the ones.........

the seller responded to my message, by saying he will amend the listing. case closed.

I had the same reply.

I posted above (quoted in bold-type) what the seller added to their listing. The description wasn't changed, but the info added to the bottom of the listing.... To reiterate:

[Roughwear]

I missed that, just as many others would do. I would have expected the title to be changed along with the description.

Ok I give up. How on earth, did you guy deduce that it was not an actual WWII A-2?

 

[Silver Surfer]
