Nice one. My neighbor has a similar size 50 A-2 w/same 15th AF patch, but his is decked out in Bugs Bunny artwork. Those large A-2s are a bit perplexing.

Yeah-size 50! Amazing...what proportion of originals from any maker would have been that large?

It was not cheap to buy it but I am 6.2 and can wear it, the only size I can wear
