Me thinks, if too good to be true then too good to be true.

A possible early Buzz Rickson, think they once made these? Makes me wonder why ELC can't make a B-15A, I've been looking for a nice original for years. If this one's genuine then "wow!"

No, I don't think Buzz ever did one...could be wrong though. Real McCoy's have though, on more than one occasion, and while the one's I've seen don't look identical to this (eg. label stitching) I would think it's much more likely to be a RM repro than an original.

Hard to tell from the poor photos however the label size is 44 regular. I don't think B-15's ever came in varying lengths.

Whether this B-15A is original or a repro the postage is a killer at $313. :roll:

Pathetic. Yet someone else trying it again. Probably afraid of foreign bidders?

One can always try and find a proxy bidder on VLJ, cause shipping within the US is mentioned as Standard Ground.

I googled and there are repros from RealMccoy that are marked regular.

Tags in pockets? Zips? Could be a nice deal if it's a renowned repro.

For that price you could almost fly to the US and collect the jacket in person as part of a vacation! :lol:

Wouldn't that be priceless if the jacket sold to a bidder overseas for less than what they want to ship it there?

You would probably charge me $20 for shipping and make a $7.35 profit (and I would pay it, lol).

Mailed the seller. The zipper is a Conmar as per originals. My Buzz B-15a had a Scovill. Don't know enough about repros to know if others use real Conmars.

 

[deeb7]

The label is a perfect match with an original ... REGULAR on the label is also correct for this contract.

The RM's I've seen use Talons.

BR use NOS Conmar's on many of their cloth WW2 jackets

The seller has just put an extra number in. It's $31 economy and $55 priority to the UK, or something. I reckon this jacket is original and is not being taken seriously. The close up of the alpaca has convinced me. Wish it was my size.
