Lack of usn punching on the flap isn't this a m422a or did the early 50,s g1 lack the punching? Either way nice jacket, I'm not totally up on g1 but looks early

I suspect this will go easily

It reminds me of this I saw

Looks like a genuine cool jacket. I'm not 100% sure what type exactly it is or who made it. Maybe it was made by Burjac Sportswear [zipper and lining color can point to this one]? Hopefully, some leather gimps here can confirm what manufacturer made it

Wrong pocket flap shape for a W&G. The zipper is from the late 1940's so it could be a 55J14 or a possible early repro.

It has some features like Burjac Sportswear N383s-5299 jackets have to me, also the same ugly buttons [cast with a blend of two colors] that can be spotted on some jackets made by Burjack. Cool jacket!

So it's between 47 and 51 Erwin? Intermediate?

Lol, I was just about to post this. Looks like a good jacket, but measurements look like it's pretty small.

Well my assumption only, some older more experienced leather gimps here would know better I think it is a post-war one made by Burjac Sportswear[N383s-5299].
