Hello! I am in need of help from all the MA-1 experts in this forum. I have tried to figure out the date of this piece myself but my limited knowledge can only get me so far. This is a repro right? I appreciate all the help I can get :) please tell me if I need to attach more photos!

It is a civilian jacket. Usually only worth dating if it is military issued. I think all the civilian Alpha MA-1 has the same stock and contract number so cannot use that to date.

I stumbled across a used MA-1 in blue made in the USA that I might buy.
It's definitely a civilian version, but the label seems to be older. I haven't been able to find any information about it.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

Late USA Alpha MA-1 from where I’m sat, can make good beaters.
