Ma 1

[Danny HKG]

Hello everyone, here are some photos of my L2B and MA1 jackets. Could you please let me know if my jackets are legit? I noticed that the stitching on the front of my MA1 is not "zip zap," and the size of the front zipper is much larger than that of the arm pockets (but my L2B has the same size zipper for both the front and arm pockets). Is this normal? Also, could you tell me approximately what year my MA1 jacket is from? The label has become unclear. Thank you!

The L-2b from Skyline is legit . Does the Ma-1 have a label or did I miss it ?

The MA-1, I may have seen it on ebay and the patches look way too new. No tag in pocket?
The jacket itself looks legit. Maybe see if you can find this exact type of windflap.
Velcro coulda been a later addition. Don't think they were ever supplied that way from the original manufacturer.

Agree with all written.

The MA-1 looks pretty much identical to the’65 Alpha I used to have, zips and all. Would have had a label in the pocket. Dunno about the patches etc. but I would say the jacket is fine.
