1950s? LW Foster G-1 Jacket Contract year?

[Estancia]

Trying to date this G-1 I just picked up.

Contract number is: DA-36-243-QM (CTM) 2134

Any ideas on how to decipher that?

has a Conmar zipper (silver teeth) so guessing late 50s on this?

Much appreciated,

thanks!

I think the 7823(aer) began in 1951 & ended in 60, so for sure is a 50's jacket. someone will chime in who knows the contracts & can date it a little closer.

The contract number dates this Foster G-1 to the 1958 fiscal year.

Just bought a size 48 manufactured with the same contract number. How do you decipher the build date to be fiscal year 1958? I assume that FY58 in that time was July 1957 to Jun 1958? We did not change over to FYs starting in Oct until much later. Your thoughts?

Cheers,
Mike
