incredible luck
Thank you Andrew.I think i have just experienced pure luck,especially after reading it may be a mid 30's irvin.I'm still in shock after reading that it could be a mid 30's irvin.I told my father about it,and what you said Andrew,about it possibly being mid 30's,and not only was he pleased,but he then told me my grandfather,Shem Williams,flew in Lancaster Bombers during the war,and he had an irvin suit.that is all i managed to get out of my dad at the time,except that my grandfather was invilided out of the R.A.F.I will have to get more info out of him.
The seller sent me a message,saying that he posted the jacket yesterday afternoon,from germany,and that i should get it in between 5 - 8 days.hopefully,the u.k postal strike will not interfere with it's arrival.when it arrives,i will post detailed photographs of it,and try and get good detail photo's of the zips,stitching and label etc,so you can have a good look.hopefully,it will have that little something,you have been looking for,to clarify any curiosity about the mid 30's irvins,like label info,zips etc.
