Crazy price for a distressed A2

[Roughwear]

This seller has a reputation for OTT pricing, but this one is just crazy at $7,500!!! . This refurbished RW A2 is in rather poor condition, yet the patch and blood chit seem pristine! Surely they can't be recently applied repros!! It has been on Ebay for months like most of his other original A2s and is likely to remain there for ever.

Ignoring the hilarious price and newly added patches for a moment, it's interesting that during the depot refurb, the lining must have been replaced and the white cotton label added. I've never seen that before.

The bullion patch at least seems original. It doesn't upgrade the jacket by a $7000 though.

Here's another seller who thinks he is selling the holy grail!

arent those white labels usually on a-2s that were made in oz?

I have seen several such labels on refurbished US-made A2s Victor.
