3rd Pursuit Squadron Hell's Angel's AVG Painted A-2 Jacket

[FlakMagnet]

I'm not sure if this has been discussed here on the forum, but I stumbled across this Live Auctioneers listing this morning.

The knits and maybe the zip look like they've been replaced, but overall it looks like a fine specimen.

Any thoughts on its authenticity?

I think this jacket was featured in Larry Pistole's book on the AVG, "A Pictorial History of the Flying Tigers" -- he may have even owned it (or said he did ).
