I have owned this superb size 42 B-3 from the no-name 42-21700-P contract (1942) for the last six years and more recently it has been joined by a very nice size 42 redskin B-3 from the no-name AC 17812 (1941) contract. Studying both jackets carefully they might be from the same as yet unidentified maker. I have posted a number of pictures of both jackets. Allowing for the obvious differences in terms of finish and the fact that the redskin is a 3rd version B-3 and the seal jacket a 4th version, are they by the same maker?
