Pritzer 55J14 Jacket

[bburtner@moran]

Good day folks,searching on ebay this morning as I do for "leather"came upon a Pritzer 55J14.Auction has 2 days left and this jacket is up to 321.00.Seller claims wonderful condition,its not.It has issues as most leather does after 60 yrs.My guess is a winning bid of over 400.00.Why? The maker? I could understand maybe if the bloody thing was in "NICE" condition.Are Pritzers rare?I do not have that much experience with values of American flight jackets.I got a Foster 55J14 4 months ago on ebay for 225.00,in far nicer condition than this Pritzer.Nicer scalloped pocket flaps excellent fur,cuffs etc.Tell me folks WHY .....I guess I do not get it.

Edited. No live auction links. Thanks. Feraud.

I have had a look at the listing and think the jacket is actually going for a fair price. There only appears to be damage to the knits and this can easily be repaired. Pritzer G1 were well made and are sought after. The mouton on this one has very little wear and the lining appears to be in tact. The goatskin is in very good condition. I owned one is much worse condtion than this and it sold on ebay last year for a little more than this one.
