Buzz Rickson’s B-15C with a Talon zipper?

[FreddyF9]

Hello everyone,

I was about to buy a Buzz Rickson’s B-15C (a blue one) when I noticed that, despite the tags seemingly confirming it as a legit Buzz, it has a Talon zipper. Searching around the web, I was able to find many pictures of Buzz B-15Cs with Crown zippers but none with a Talon one.

Do you guys have ever seen one of those jackets with a Talon? Maybe it’s just an older model but I’m starting to doubt that it’s a legit Buzz Rickson’s…

Thank you!

Talon #5 or the bigger one #10?

An older Buzz Pritzker or A Turner B-15C, before they were using their own Crown repros. I am focussing on very old Buzz and Mccoy jackets and I find them really interesting as they did use NOS hardware among other things.

I’m not sure but it could be one of the larger ones

It could be, but the number on the label started with BR. I believe that the older versions started with M

I was able to find the seller on instagram, this is the jacket:

That doesn't look like a Buzz B-15C, that's is 100% a cheap knockoff with a legit Buzz selling tag, I'd stay away...

No way I’m going to buy it!
Thanks a bunch Dany!
