@mulceber....... no sorry, coin too worn I'm afraid to check definitely against mine, could be later than 1911 which would fit well

The C2 and the Rough Wear can get you thru some chilly temperatures. If you need a warmer option try the Rough Wear with a Woolley Pulley type sweater. They are a heavier wool knit View attachment 84336

Can't go wrong with a woolly-pully. I've got a couple and they're great jumpers.

thanks to Thomas, I am the proud owner of a 5Star M-421a now... (he agreed to sell it to me, an opportunity that I had to take as I wanted a M-421a for a long time now )

a really great jacket and perfect to wear in the rather warm weather that we enjoy currently

I have one, or three, if you need it.

Tried to PM you via the forum ...

Would you possibly part with one of them?

I'll take a look at their condition, I know one of them is original B&L, so that stays.

They're also the larger size, if that makes a difference.

That looks damn nice . Any chance of seeing the entire jacket. I’ve always like Cossacks

Got one, had one, want to own one? Find one more appealing than another, why? Who makes your favorite? Please post images, and let’s discuss.

Page 3, if you notice the Kangaroo Brand label, it states, Seattle. John accommodated my request for vintage labels on it.

@Thomas Koehle -- I sent a PM your way.

I checked the Ray-Bans I have and the pair I'd part with are probably from around 1995 or 2000 -- I'll have to research what they're worth, but I wouldn't look for any premium collectors' price (I'll save that for the 1990, B&L tagged pair with the sales receipt I have! ).

Not sure what shipping to Germany might cost, but we can probably work something out. I'm not wearing them, they need a good home.

Total knockout, WZ. I see it has the logo of the 81st bomb squadron. Have you been able to identify the pilot?

It belonged to Major General Warner E. Newby. I think that Jorge has posted a thread in the past regarding this jacket.

Where is Jorge anyway ?
The guy has sort of faded away.
C’mon back Jorge.
We miss seeing your fantastically mint jackets . (Size 46s especially )

You know he's probably on a mission that's going to make us all jealous.
