Name is Kevin and I was the winning bidder on this jacket. I am grateful and in-debted to those of you out there that alerted me to my mistake. I know I am deserving of the criticism, but thought I might offer that I have been collecting for about 25 years, and am fortunate to have amassed a rather large collection of nice original stuff. LW leather jackets are tough as I know you all know, because they were really not issued. I have been in the market for about a year and a half and this is only the second one I have bidded on. The first was a nice Hartmann style sold on ebay to History Preservation Associates about 9 months ago. Got a feeling he knows his stuff (He runs Eastman leather jackets and buys originals to copy his repro's from). Anyway, I am not all that gullible and this jacket got a lot of attention from others as well as a running up bid just $4.00 less than mine. Once again, I am very grateful to you all for alerting me, the seller has cancelled the transaction-was actually very responsible and polite about it-probably because he knows he got caught. I am open for any education you might offer on these-although the comment about anyone wanting a real one deserves a fake is not very encouraging. I did happen to see what appeared to be a nice Hartmann style sell about 8 months ago on Atalantic Crossroads. There was some discussion on the Wermacht Awards site on that jacket and it was felt it was real according to those threads. I have a very nice WWII A-2 grouping from a B-24 navigator in CBI with blood chit if anyone wants to discuss it. One of the only large groupings I have ever acquired direct from vet. Again-thanks guys! Kevin
