Serval sleeve zip of HH Fidelity IR
Beautiful zippers @JMax. Any idea of the age? Maybe if we combine these images with the collective knowledge of how old these jackets are, we can come up with dates for the zippers.
I am sure @tmitchell59 can add his info.Sounds good. I will make a list of my jackets with at least an estimated decade of birth. Or maybe add something to each post.

Dating zippers to an exact year is going to be difficult especially for the 50s zippers which were basically unchanged.
The three below go back no later than c.1951 and they may go into 1971.
A very common Talon sleeve zipper that was first used in the mid 40s and goes on into 70s, 80s.
These are the zippers I am trying to date. The big T on the box is the later edition.
I thinking late 50s for this one below. I have a Californian with this zipper and consider the jacket late 50s.
