Nice jacket, looks like the real thing.

Hmm. I'm far from being an expert but those patches don't look right to me and Contrailchaser is well known for peddling fakes.

Those patches are very hard to say one way or the other from those photos. Originals were made that way, though I agree the 14th looks questionable.

What is sad is this is an example of originals and fakes converging, and when that happens, if you don't have something else to support it, the good gets tossed in with the bad.....

The spec label appears to be a reproduction one added by the seller. I wonder why it has not been mentioned in the listing! :roll:

Suspected repro label


Original Bronco label


The seller's reputation has been discussed several times on the forum.

The label is one of John's early Bronco labels!

There's no way you could trust anything JCS sells as legit after the major exposure of fraud a couple of years ago- and the CBI was particularly featured. Even the ring of the AAF wing patch looks new while the patch looks as old as the Pyramids.
