Hi, did you mean my bits n pieces Edward? i posted the pics like this so really people could see the pullers etc and didnt want to bore members with yet another view of a Highwayman or my old A2 jacket.
But maybe the bike jacket deserves a viewing.
I bought this old 1950s-60s ket jacket purely as a means to display some old biker badges and patches etc.
The jacket is not really wearable as the zip has teeth missing on pockets and main zip in more than one place, the lining is a satin gold cloth but not nylon but the leather facing is so fragile that whenever I pin another badge to the jacket it sometimes simply pulls through.
I thought this a better way to display pin badges rather than in a display case, most are from the era 1960-70s when this jacket would have been worn, it hangs on a hanger in my garage so anyone can view it.
The Chinese coins seem a great idea for an AVG jacket. I got the idea for my French coins from a guy who had a bunch of Japanese coins on his A2, but I would not have the bullet on a jacket if I was using an air service as they like to use any excuse to show that they have the power to refuse you to fly and may class it as ammunition.
All these do make a change from the usual rescue whistles that may hit you on the chin if you need to run wearing your jacket
Keep em coming now.
Oh brother that's cool. Btw that's cool.
