Zipper manufacturers for jump smocks

[Remy Spezzano]

Perhaps this has already been attempted. But has anyone ever put together a thread listing all the different manufacturers for the zippers used on smocks? Or was there only a few companies that made them during the war? I tried a search on this forum but nothing came up.

Here is a metal zipper with leather pull tab marked "ELITE."

In addition to Elite, Ri Ri and Rapid are two that come to mind. I'm sure there are others but they escape me.

There is "ZIPP".

It would be great if members would post close up photos showing the various manufacturers of the zippers. Just like I did at the beginning of this thread.
I'm sure this would be a big help to new collectors so they can learn and see what the real zippers look like.
Thanks.

regards,

I've seen 'RHEINADEL' in the past, but can't remember if it was on
a jumpsmock or on a pilot's fliegerjacke...
