Not much info out there on this company but what I do find says 60's. Very well made with heavy duty TALON Zips and weighing in at 5-6 lbs. I found it this morning at the same guy I bought the MG34 ammo belts and cans from yesterday. He said it came out of a storage locker. Very dusty and looked terrible, but it didn't have a musty odor (don't find that as much in the desert) So I washed it up with some mild hand soap mixed in mostly water and then hosed it down. Then a liberal coating of leather conditioner reveals one sharp, supple, deep black, super looking jacket. The pockets are very clean, liner is in great shape, smells fine, can't find a worn spot or scratch on it. Lesco is or was a quality manufacturer of leather jackets, no doubt about it. And however old this one is, it wasn't worn much before being tossed into storage to cllect dust for many years by the way it looked a few hours ago. A size 38 unfortunately hasn't fit me since I was 13 or something, but worth what I paid and about an hour and a half of work as a wall hanger for sure. And I'm certainly willing to flip it. Think 200- is too much?
