    Flight Jacket Question

    Been lurking for a while - paranoid about submitting info anywhere...

    So Here I go jumping in with both feet.

    Found a Saddlery Flight Jacket in my size on ebay and was wondering the best way to ensure that it is authentic?

    I have been looking for one in my size for a while, but don't want to get screwed.

    Any Thoughts?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Seems to me that an item like this would be very easy to make and fake, so if you're looking for the genuine item, you'd better make sure of the provenance ...

    Thanks.

    The auction ends tomorrow. I have emailed the owner and the jacket seems to have come from a pretty legit source! I also checked and he lives in a city with an airbase as well. I am getting pretty excited to win this!

    Thanks again.
