Thx a lot Andrew,
Any idea whether the split hood is original or modified? ( modified by USAAF- USAF for their contract workers in Japan and Korea).

Nice work Brice !!!

That is another moda - I think yours is legit. At that px, no need to think at all esp. the condition is so good
But 1 thing, I am only being suspecticle & maybe all wrong, I have seen 2-3 Moda B-11, in my memory all of them are with white fur, I have not seen in my memory a Moda with a brown fur. Moda perhaps is the ONLY B-11 manufacturer that comes with white fur.However, since all other details look fine, it is sufficient to believe it is an original, save the Talon hood Zip, B-11 has no hood zip, IMO.

Daan Clothing also produced a "white" hooded version

The B11 /A10 full contract list is my next project

Someone mentioned 10 contracts of B11/A10 contracts .
Would be interesting to know all 10 makers .

[Carl]

Another set of contracts to tick off the list and another step forward towards a reference bible .

 

[Carl]

I was all excited to add to this discussion with photos of the B-11 I recently bought, but then realized that I bought THIS ONE. LOL, I never would have even suspected that the hood had been repaired. Beauty of a job!
