Looks like an ELC .50 cal to me. Anybody else?

First hunch says ELC, two bids indicate that some other people think so as well? But I'll have arrived at the time worn effect for free :twisted: in a year or so, so I won't be buying.
edit: description, cuffs, posture all ELC. US/Canada only.

hahaahaaha, its an elc "time worn" job. though the seller states "reproduced", he doesnt go much further. the only real a-1 that i know of on the bay, is the one i am selling.

Its an ELC time worn A-1. These are from a retail online catalog like Sharper Image or something. This eBay seller gets their unsold products and lists them.

I forget the retailer's name, well known?????????????????? argh!

Is be inretested to see how much the delivered jacket resembles the picture

Wonder why the seller doesn't include the manufacturers name?

 

[Jeff M]

Yep.
Seller says it's an Eastman.

talk about a curve ball. He really doesnt make it clear its a Repro,
until several lines down in the description. But uses the word genuine in
more prominent places. I put repro in my title.

Gents, its an Eastman. The Hammacher Schlemmer online catalog sells them, here is the listing:

When Hammacher doesn't sell merchandise so well or discontinues an item, it goes to the eBay sellers who are currently listing the jacket. They list many things from the HS catalog but are not part of HS.

I guess Hammacher Schlemmer could be more forthcoming with WHO makes the jacket but then why buy it from Hammacher? The current eBay seller is not a jacket guy so he just goes with what he gets from HS.
