Dominik Posted December 26, 2021 Share #1 Posted December 26, 2021 I'm looking for a painted flight jacket from WW2. Does anybody happen to now of a good place to look for one? I'm struggling to find any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDK Posted January 6, 2022 Share #2 Posted January 6, 2022 I'll admit, good painted jackets have been becoming increasingly difficult to come by as the years go by. Especially with rock solid provenance. If you have a opportunity to go the Show of Shows, that's as good of place as any to find one. Patience is key as well. Various auction houses will get one or 2 from time to time, but make sure you know what you are looking at as there are plenty of fakes out there. Good luck and happy hunting in 2022 JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boru Posted January 6, 2022 Share #4 Posted January 6, 2022 Hey Guys, Haven’t posted in a while. I retrieved my dads decal. Sticker on leather. I had it digitally retouched. I am enclosing it if anyone would like to use it, you have my blessing. Best in the New Year! Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
