This B-3 is up for auction. It's listed as a size 46. The leather throat straps show it was issued at least twice, the last time to an airman named Norton. There's not enough of the label shown for me to make out the maker, but some here may have the knowledge to make that determination.. The left side shows heavy wear and I don't know enough about restoring sheepskin to know if it's possible with this jacket. Even in it's current condition, I always have a fondness for named jackets which aren't usually named.
