The 55j14 was confirmed to be a repro by Gary and Alan at Eastman themselves, the seller i bought it off is still trying to tell me it's an original, oh well, escalated ebay case here we go. any way thats old news now on with the new

I have recently bought a Monarch or WILLIS AND GEIGER AN-J-3A in pretty poor condition, but have all the spares ready to make it good again, first of, where is recommended, I know Eastman are now only renovating their own jackets, and Aero are meant to be the nuts, but wondered if any others are worth a pop, want it as good/authentic as possible, the collar and leather and in good shape, apart from one reasonably deep cut on the front, which should be easy enough to fix.

And is there anyone out there who has a bell zipper pull of a blackened or brass talon, all I really need is the bell itself, but if the whole mechanism is available thats fine too. would prefer original (of course)

Can put some photos up if anyone is interested, and also have a H.L Block An-6552 turning up this week as well which needs a bit of work.

Always in the market for a small size (36/38) jacket A-2 or G-1 original or repro (only repro if it's a good-un) thanks alot, hope to hear from some of you

sent a picture of it to a very nice guy called Rob at Eastman and he seems to think its original, and a bit of a find, he said if it were a reproduction it was a very very good one, but not one of theirs

no the fosters did have talon zippers, but painted black, why does the colar make you think it's a repro? the price is a bit high, but if it was an original i'd pay it, and condition wise nothing a bit of mink oil wont fix, all the scuffed patches can be fixed in 30 mins, but cuff, well it's hard to find a jacket that doesn't need its cuff replacing

just bought this jacket what does anyone think real or repro?
