Talon zip for M422-A

[jack aranda]

I'm just beginning to do research replacing the broken zip on my 'new' M422-A. Availability? Sources? Cost? and so on. Thanks in advance for any help.

Is your zip nickel or brass?

I have a couple of brown taped M-42 Talon NOS nickel, type #5 lenght, 24 1/2 inches perfect to fit an M-422A.
I could sell you one.
$50,00 USD before shipping, at MASH the same model goes for $60,00 USD before shipping.

Same as the zipper shown in the link below:

You might try Vintage Productions in the USA. They sell original NOS Talons from MASH, but at a cheaper price. I have bought several from them without any problems.

Did they have them for sale 3 years ago as well if you ever may know?

Thanks, gents. Looking at the pics at Vintage Productions, I think my zipper is brass, not nickel. So, that narrows the search a bit. I like the look of that nickel zip, thought.

Nickel would be correct ...
