B3 Need Information

[Jpc]

Good morning to everyone

Here is my new B3 vintage acquisition, I want to have information, the label does not mention the manufacturer? Year of manufacture 1940? , what is the original color? How to clean the sheep lining? What product for leather

Thank you for your help

Nah, that’s fiscal year 1943 (so July ‘42 to June ‘43). The 43 at the start of the contract number is the year.

Full Gear identifies that contract as H. Bernstein.
