asiamiles Well-Known Member Nov 11, 2008 #2 Just curious when they stopped making/issuing these jackets?
Grant Well-Known Member Nov 11, 2008 #3 The USN issued the N-1 through the early fifties. I imagine like most things is was dropped for cost cutting reasons.

Grant Well-Known Member Nov 11, 2008 #5 WWII issue N-1 jackets had "NSsx" on the spec label. Later ones did not. This N-1 being sold is WWII issue - and looks to be in amazing condition!

Grant Well-Known Member Nov 12, 2008 #9 Whoa! That N-1 went for $594. That's an all time high for a WWII green N-1. What Recession?!?
