A-2 jacket snaps

[PLATON]

Have a few questions guys

1. Is it true that the snaps that go under the collar are smaller than those that go in the pocket flaps?
2. Does this apply for both types of snaps used? i.e. ball stud and ring type?
3. What is the difference in size, e.g. how the ball stud snaps measure in mm or inches (diameter)?
4. Anyone have any photo examples?
5. Do the repro makers follow this requirement to have 2 different size snaps on a jacket?

6. What are your thoughts?

Thanks
Platon

It depends completely on manufacturer and differs from contract to contract. I'll let the real A-2 experts weigh in on specifics but for anyone who may not have checked out this site (and I know it's been discussed here many times over) there are pages of A-2 details here:
