Sabrejet Posted November 9, 2013 Share #4 Posted November 9, 2013 The B-15s with the knitted collars evolved into to the classic MA1. Such conversions are documented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bebel Posted November 13, 2013 Share #10 Posted November 13, 2013 If this modification is original, i would not modify it again. It's an absolutely rare version with a knit collar. B-15A such modified are incredibly scarce, I guess. Franck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
