During the early '80's my friend bought big carton boxes full of miltaria from a guy in the Amsterdam area. That guy had a stall at the Waterlooplein fleamarket in Amsterdam and he kept all the leather jackets like A-2's, B-3's etc. and sold them off. These boxes came out the U.S.A. and contained lots of genuine WW2 military clothing like jackets, shirts, Class A, coveralls etc. We found a lot of these anti-G suits but never gave it a second thought it was WW2 issue and we threw em all away.... Embarrasing...
