Where can I find...

[Mycroft]

Where can I find WWII metal bomb tags, similar to or the ones you can use on A-1/A-2's as zipper pulls? I want to get a few for a jacket or messinger bag.

Bomb tags...

...like this?
Well Mycroft, it was our very own Paddy who instigated the plan to get some bomb tags re-made as an A-2 accessory/zip pull. I guess you've seen reference to them on one of the Yahoo flight jacket forums... or Paddy's photos?
Maybe- anyway-
Aero Leather Clothing were selling these very same ones.....ummm....
..can't really use their site right now but try searching on the site under "bomb tag". Theyy may still have some left. Otherwise, you'll have to watch out for a real, vintage one. Good luck

I do not own a bomber jacket yet, though I was thinking of putting it own a WWII vintage messinger bag, not just any old one. Thanks for the links.

Ooooh, don't put one of those tags on your luggage if flying on an airline! LOL!

Very true, maybe it should not go on my messinger bag. Thanks for the warning.
