Caleco G-1 Sz 42

[442RCT]

This looks like a really nice 60 year old jacket and if as advertised, something for a collector.

WWII US Navy Flyers Jacket '47 -'51 "first series G-1

The dates are correct for a first series, that would be a 55J14, but Cagleco didn't make one. The Cagleco contract N383 28657A is from 1956 ... when does the seller think WW11 ended?

Seems to be a regular thing when listing G-1's...."WW2"! I know we British bang on about the Yanks arriving late in the war but I don't recall they went into extra time way into the '50's!

:lol: :lol: :lol: Better get your tin hat on Paul. I think you'll have incoming 'friendly fire' any moment !! I thought we all knew that WW2 only ended for us Brits when we paid the final installment of our 'Lend'Lease' payments a few years ago. Of course, for the 'enemy' it ended as soon as they put their white flags up in '45. :twisted: :evil:

Yeah, I'd better stick to the topic and not dig a deeper hole for myself! Maybe we can just give a simple lecture then....there were NO G-1's in WW2!! Which ran from 1939 (or 1941!) until 1945 only.....
And like a DFS Sale, the repayments went on and on and on........!

The seller's user name is "weiner_doggy", so that should tell you something.

Is the price a bit high on this Coleco?
