The hh has a nice worn patina, but the jacket requires restoration if it is going to be worn. The Crown zip is a post war replacement. I doubt if it will sell unless the price is dropped.

Johnny, help with id this patch; the guy say in his presentation ''bomber'' but i don't think it's a bomber squadron; for me it's more a transport squadron.

Marcel,
This is the 54th Combat Cargo Squadron. They were known as the Eager Beavers. They flew in the PTO.

This is interesting in that I had a Roughwear with the same patch on it. Here is a picture of it. Wonder if the guy who wore my jacket would have known this guy...
