24th_infantry Posted October 22, 2014 Share #1 Posted October 22, 2014 I found this A-2 for sale for around $500 and was wondering if any of you could give me some advice. I have an original A-2 and the one for sale looks identical to the one I've got. The only thing missing is the inside tag, but you can see where it once was. However, before I purchase it I want to make sure its authentic. Any help is greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejet Posted October 22, 2014 Share #3 Posted October 22, 2014 It's not an issue A2 as it has a seam across the shoulders. All issue jackets had one-piece backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDK Posted October 22, 2014 Share #4 Posted October 22, 2014 Hard to say for sure with the given photos, but I would take a pass regardless. Replaced knits, no label, looks to have a layer or pecards on it, and the lining has issues. JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDK Posted October 22, 2014 Share #5 Posted October 22, 2014 Jeepers!!! I can't believe I missed the back seam. Good eyes Ian!! I was too busy looking at the zipper and everything else! He is right on the money. Not a govt issued jacket. Def a pass! JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
