F/S SUPERB NO NAME 27753 A2 SIZE 46

[aswatland]

This is without doubt the best preserved 27753 A2 that I have ever seen, but it is really too big for me. The jacket is in amazing condition without any issues. The horse hide is thick, supple and rot-free. The lining is complete without the usual separation at the neck. The original knits are in excellent condition with only five very small knips on the cuffs. The Conmar zipper works flawlessly.

Measurements
Armpit to armpit: 25"
Across the back at the shoudlers: 20"
Sleeve, from shoulder to end of knit: 26"
Back, from base of collar to bottom of knit: 27"

The jacket is tagged a 46 but fits more like a 48.

I am asking $2650 plus shipping. Please send me a pm if you are interested in this beauty.

That's a Beauty

I'd be all over it but for that pesky fourth digit in the price. (Really??)

Whoa, buddy... I think I's dyslexic or something. How much is that? That cost more than my new 4X4.

No you are not dyslexic-this is the price similar near mint original A2s sell for. How many size 46 originals come up for sale and in such superb condition?

Gentlemen.

If you are familiar with 'original' A-2's, their contracts, their condition, and the sizings available 'today,' then you'd also be aware of the value/pricing that they can command.

This is really 'not' the place to be crying out..."HOW MUCH? " The price is what 'it is.'

*If* you are interested Gents, then I'm sure Andrew would be more than happy to tell you more about, and you can PM him, as he is a very knowledgeable, educational, enthusiastic, valued and honest member of TFL and has much information to give on A2s and Irvin (type) pre/war jackets.

Good Luck with that Andrew.

Thanks for the support and thumbs up Paddy.

If I had the extra dough laying around, I'd snatch this baby up in a second! Just my size!

Seems a reasonable price, considering what wrecked small ones go for.
