I am ordering a Aero Smooth Horsehide Beacon N.Y. 42-15142-P A-2, from Aero Leathers and was wondering which
of the two zip options is the more authentic. quote This jacket is fitted with a Triple Marked Talon with Art Deco Box in choice of Nickel or Antique Brass. unquote. I like the sound of the brass, but if it was not used it seem's a bit pointless.
Thanks for any help.

Here is a pic of an original Aero Co jacket with nickel finish Talon zip (courtesy of Acme Depot).

That was, I understand, the regular fitment.

There are experts on here who know far more than me.

I'm sure they will tell you if brass was ever used by Aero :D

This Aero contract originally had Talon or Crown zips. Unless you pay the extra for a NOS Talon the jacket will come with a repro Talon zip.

Thanks Guys.
I know the zipper will be a repo but you can have a choice of brass or nickel.
I think the brass would look better, in a Seal A2.
Cheers.
