HELP! When was this G-1 jacket manufactured?

[Pancho Ruf]

Hi there! My first post here @ FD, but I've been reading/checking the forums regularly for good info and comments related to one of my fav subjects: aviation leather jackets. And that's precisely the purpose of this first message.

Would you help me to figure out the manufacturing date (year/time/era) of this G-1 jacket that I purchased as a second hand item a few weeks ago? It's a Mil-spec Imperial Leather & Sportswear with some wear in cuffs and waistband, but otherwise like new.

Thanks in anticipation for your replies!

Cheers

This is the E series that has the Dynal collar. The E series had either goat or cowhide (mostly). This one appears to be cowhide.

Would have guessed Mid 70's Just by the tag itself. That's a beauty Jacket!!
