I recently bought a 1950's G1 flight jacket made by California Sportswear but the zipper is broken and missing its puller. Does anyone have a spare (blackened or alloy) Conmar zipper for sale?

Thanks, Richard

Richard,
I seem to remember that Mash in Japan had these for sale but a quick Google search turned up nothing.
You might want to reach out to Stuart at Lost Worlds and see if he has one available or if he might know how to get one. I did not see them on his website for sale but he does carry a pretty wide selection of A2 and G1 jacket parts.
Good luck!

There are almost certainly a few floating around (I've got several footlockers of milsurp zippers, and I'm not alone in having a sizable "stash"), but without knowing the size and length (and maybe tape color), no one can really help you.

Thanks for the input guys. I need a, I think what you call, size 5 Conmar and about 23" long. See additional pictures. This zipper was used in almost all 55J14 and AER G1 jackets.
