I bet they never even had a thought about that. Nicely done .

Good man - frankly they shouldn't be hanging it up at all. Get it a mannequin like the unknown (Perry?) has.

Blood chit on the back of a FJ, Burt.

But man, that star is just a bit off center!

My BK RW23380 looks just like that... Their seal Liberty is the same colour

Thinking that the small patch on upper left shoulder of the Perry is a patch due to harness wear?

hmmmm....I could be wrong, but it looks like there was once a name tag stitched under and to the right of the left pocket on the "unknown maker" a-2. I have seen name tags stitched aligned with, and right above left pockets of a-2s, but never below a pocket. thanx for taking the time to post these pix, as it is always a joy to see originals displayed.

Maybe it was on the lining?
