What kind of this MA-1 is?

[ArShane]

Hi, I'm new for vintage MA-1. According to the zipper and the website, I believe it's a 50's ~ 60's MA-1 jacket.
However, this jacket has no any labels. I can't get more infomation about this jacket. I searched the internet about the MA-1 for this age, and I didn't see any jacket like this - no labels.

What is the exactly age of this? And what was it made for? Military or what?

Did you check the inside of the pockets for a label ?

Main zip is not original one.

Knits don't look right and the main zip is not correct. Based on the pocket zip would say it would have looked like this one on my 61 Skyline.

Yes, and there is no labels.

Main zip is not original one.

Oh, how do you guys know that?

But the lining of my jacket is not orange.
Yes, the knit was changed before..

Main zip should be Conmar, bronze with black finish , #8 or #10 , not #5.

Better photos would help.. eg the full front showing whether there is/was an oxy tab.
Pocket details?
Snap details?
… and last but not least, maybe introducing yourself??.
Thankyou.

OK.
I'm new here for vintage MA-1, and I come from Taiwan. This jacket is bought from a local vintage store, and he told me it's a 1950 to 1960 MA-1 jacket but the knit was changed before and the labels were washed out.
I like and enjoy the story behind a vintage, so I will feel better if I know about the story of "this" jacket.

Thanks for you guys' help, here is the detailed photo:

The label: (it should be here)

The oxy tab may be here before? (There are three holes on it) and the style of the pocket button.

The pockets:

The pocket of lining:

Based on the style of the pocket buttons, I think it seems like this one (ebay). But it has the label

Thanks for you.

Thankyou
OK its a mid /end of 1960 ( not 1950 since no oxy mask tab ) legit MA-1.
Difficult to state the maker .
Main zip needs to be a Conmar „ paper clip“ brass zip.
Knitting all to be changed.
A costly restoration ahead.

Thanks a lot. Could you kindly give me a guide about the changing of knitting? What kinds of the knitting are suitable on it?
