Walter Dyer, not sure I have seen one like this

That's the most recent, crappy one. Not crappy but not the classic WD they're known for.

I actually checked to see if you were online before posting because I was going to tag you. I thought you might be interested. Looks like it sold about a half hour later. I guess in hindsight I should have just jumped on it. Hopefully someone on here snagged it and it'll show up in the near future.

Wish you had... Would've bought it instantly. It's close to my LW vest, only smaller which is exactly what I'd need. Oh well, something else will pop up. :)

Not a deal, necessarily, but I would appreciate your thoughts on this jacket, please.

I see that it isn't a WW2 pattern A2 (hand warmer pockets). The knits and probably the lining need replacing. Not sure what shape the zipper is in.
Does the leather look to be in serviceable condition?
Any thing else that strikes you about it?
Thank you.

I'm no expert but isn't this a fairly common pattern in not brilliant condition?
