For Sale: Vintage WWII-era wool jacket, size 44.
This is one of the finest examples I’ve owned. The original Talon main zipper features the distinctive cut-out pull with the engraved "V," a hallmark of WWII-era production. The jacket also retains its detailed Waldes chest zipper from the same period, adding to its authenticity and character.
From the hardware to the overall construction, this piece showcases the exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail that make these wartime garments so desirable. The zippers alone are outstanding, and the jacket has all the small period-correct features collectors appreciate.
A fantastic opportunity to own a well-preserved and highly original WWII-era wool jacket.

Asking $750 shipped - Payment via paypal as friends and family

Note on the Zipper: The jacket retains its original Talon zipper featuring the desirable cut-out pull tab and stamped "V." Collectors often refer to this style as a "Victory Talon" zipper, as the V is associated with the WWII-era Victory motif. This distinctive wartime-era hardware, combined with the period construction and detailing, adds to the jacket's authenticity and collector appeal.
