Jos.

Ahhh good to hear, then Im proud to have a piece that had been out of your collection! I can see why you picked up the pair you did, pristine~~~

Another pair of flight pants

Here is another pair I've come across. They have metal zippers instead of the bakelite type on the first pair I posted which were fake, but the lining seems to be much different that the other examples the have been posted.

Any thoughts on these? I'm thinking they are bad but the only way for me to lean is to ask. I do have more pictures if needed.

The paper tag appears to be from the one piece flight suit detailing the use of the emergency pull ring to get the wearer out of the suit, I like the second pair shown, cant say 100 percent without holding in hand, but I do like them much better than the first pair show, just my opinion.

I may be wrong, of course, but the brass zippers are a problem for me.

Bill, Jos, where are You? We need Your expertise here!

The channel trousers I have include 3 early war continental pattern, one early war med pattern, several wired versions, and a few unwired, and none of them have brass colored zippers. None.

I keyed in on this as well

I wouldnt buy these pants without having them in hand. Strange marking, strange zippers. As already said by Scott this tag has nothing to do with the pants. Perhaps 50's czech airforce.

Greetings, I apologize for my tardiness. Anyone here have teenagers in high school, with boyfriends, varsity sports, pickups/dropoffs and dances?
Here are pics of the zipps on the 5 sets I own. Both of the leather types have brass like zipps and pulls mixed in with RiRi plastic. The gray 1945 dated set is all brass like with both silver and brass pulls.
Tough for me to say on the other sets. They look OK to me but Damm what once was a pretty safe haven from fakes is now much different. The paper tag is a mystery. Best, Bill Bourque
