Looks like a beauty - unfortunately it looks like the seller only post to France.
And now there is only 30 minutes left - so we'll never know why...

...and it went for € 486,00!

Soren,
I messaged the seller to ask if he would sell to the UK and his reply went into my Spam folder.....
Of course the answer was YES !!
Next time ......

Well hopefully the jacket is coming to the UK....
Something of a gamble, as my French really is not very good!!!
Very many thanks to David (ECKHARTUS) for the heads up,
I now just have to work out how to pay......
Will post the results here assuming some sort of successful outcome!!!
Regards
Rick

Looks like a good buy, Rick, but beware Levers bearing horses' heads...

Will believe it all when have managed to sort out logistics and it "lands" safely back home!!!
As for the horses head..............

Looks like a good buy, Rick, but beware Levers bearing horses' heads...

Nay! surely not
Wrong jacket btw

Congrats with a fine jacket, Rick. Looking forward to see some more pics.
(Just to rub some salt in my open Irvin-wound - what size was it? Besides XL)

Well done Rick. You have won a decent 1940 Links-made Irvin. I would be interested in knowing precisely what size this one.

Well very many thanks to all those involved in helping with this one, I have to say my French is and remains very poor, all that said the jacket arrived in the UK safe and sound today, Size wise it appears to be a 6 with an armpit to arm pit measurement of 24", It is indeed a beautiful jacket, was at one time wired, although it has been removed incredibly well...... Unfortunately though it is just too small for me, so for that reason, And for the fact that I have just spent most of this years house keeping on a labeled size 8 IAC jacket I am going to reluctantly put it straight up on the dreaded ebay. It will start at £1 with no reserve...
Regards to all
Rick
