Bronson b-6

[Silver Surfer]

anyone have a Bronson b-6? if so, construction, fit, opinion, etc?

 

[Silver Surfer]

no one?

Off topic but I like the 5* Werber D1

 

[Silver Surfer]

my prob with 5*, John, is that the sizes get bigger, the price goes up. when I realized this, I decided to look at some of the Chinese sites for bronson b-6s. some of which offer free shipping, too. as we know, some of the bronson gear is pretty good, and priced competitively.

Interesting that bigger and often more wealthy populations get charged more

Have their D-1. Nothing can complain about it, except those zippers.

yeah typical shitty talon zippers, as expected. however now that I have found a taobao offering for the b-6 at just under $600 with free shipping, I think its a pretty good deal.

Vic, any pic?

 

[Silver Surfer]

Only on Taobao.

If , the B6 come from this seller called ’Geyi’, it has relative good reputation

Vintage silhouette store is the vender.

Vic, do you have to shop using the App ?

 

[Shanghai-Mayne]

Vintage silhouette store is the vender.

Sorry, can’t locate the store with the name.

 

[Silver Surfer]

No app needed. But like every thing else sign in required

Just make sure the shoulder decal reads “Army Air Forces” and not “Army AIr Corps.” Seems to be a thing. The wing & star was authorized in 1942 and the Air “Corps” dates to 1941 & prior, so that decal is pure fantasy.
