What do you guys think about this zipper?
I think it is descent and I like it even though the color is not accurate.

How'bout you?

Thanks Roughwear. Seems to be a copy...

Since I cannot find any NOS Talon lying around to install on my G&B I am thinking to use Scovill Gripper as an alternative

Do you guys know if the Gripper was ever used in A-2 jackets and how would you like it on an A-2?
Is it acceptable? What if it was nickel color?

What you could do is install the gripper and put a NOS talon puller on it. Most of the Conmars I have seen are brass.

Grippers were never used on A-2's-I don't think Scovill appeared until the 60's, when I think I'm right in saying they bought out Conmar. The paperclip Conmars on G-1's turned into paperclip Scovills-pretty much identical except for the name stamped on them. That's not one of Aero's repro Conmars, is it?
