Ehm …It turns out it's quite hard to find the original pattern B-15!
I've been looking at this one and wondered if it's a genuine Buzz Rickson?
B-15
My issue is in finding a pattern of the original 1944 B-15 without any later modifications
It does indeed, I just need to find a proxy that works and doesn't shaft me for fees....Hi,
Buzz and The Real Mccoy have pretty much reproduced every versions that were. So if you take the time to search Yahoo Japan, it's all there at one time or another in almost every sizes. And if not just wait for it. And avoid Ebay, especially from Japan, most of the auctions are the same as Yahoo but way more expensive.
HTH,

I've put an order in on Buyee this morning. It's the Buzz Rickson B-15 (1944 pattern). No idea what happens now, but if it turns up and is as described, I'll be happy! If not, it's a paypal claim.Indeed, Japan is your friend for BR B15, my Buzz Rickson in navy color was only $60 including postage, in absolute new condition, size 36.
