I think this is going to fetch serious money...

Cripes! I think you're right! A pox on all moths though. I had a mint Ralph Edwards G-1 once, but the bleeding lepidoptera larvae had played merry Hell with the knits.

Ok who bid $2000.01 ?

The leather of that one looks like chrome tanned goatskin. Different looking from another excellent G&F posted a bit back.

G&F M422a's in this condition are extremely rare and it could go as high as $2000. It's a real shame that moths have attacked the wristlets and waistband.

With five days left on the auction and the current bid at over $700, it probably will go for $2,000. Nice jacket for sure.

It sold for $1680.

I hope someone here on VLJ bought it. It would be nice see some good pics of the jacket

Does anyone still feel that Allen paid too much for his?
