Yes its a very nice B-3. Werber B-3s are more common than their A2s. This one appears to have been re-sprayed at some stage. It has a post War Crown puller and some missing zipper teeth. One has to be so careful with these shearling jackets as they tend to rip if you wear them.

Yeah, great. Another guy breaking up a grouping.
I'm getting very irritated with these types.

Strange that someone put a Crown puller on teeth that are obviously not chevroned Crown teeth.

Yes, I would never wear one, and never buy one I wasn't going to use, which is why I don't own one.

By no means all B-3s are fragile jackets. Both the two originals I own are quite robust and are worn from time to time. However I would not wear them on a daily basis unlike an Irvin.

Not all B-3's are fragile. I've found HLB's to be very durable and wearable.
