Just received this 82nd airborne A-2 jacket made by Poughkeepsie leather coat co. Has a Talon zipper. These kind of jackets were popular with the airborne officers. Has some wear around the cuffs. Let me know what you think.

No, not this is not from ebay. And no remains of a name tape. Here are some more photos of the wear and verdigris on this jacket.

Nice period A-2 and yes, a popular item of wear among officers in the 82nd ABN. Here's a photo of one in wear. Lt Ernest Dailey 505th PIR Italy

 

Congrats!
