KC - The label simply says COOPER and below that Genuine Leather. Size 44. I don't believe that this is a "Govt. Issue" as the Cooper jackets issued to the military had the contract number and Type number on the label. I think this was a civilian jacket with the military decals added. The jacket has had excellent care, tho flaking from age, the knit cuffs and knit waist band have been replaced. Too bad the only person who could fill me in on the facts (?) is no longer living.
Sapphire - Wow! I understand how your eyes popped when you read that site. On the opening screen if you will notice the decal that says, at the top, RAMPAGERS and in the banner below, ATTACK SQUADRON, the shape of the decal is the same as mine, but without the top banner above the circle. Also some of the decals appear almost to be contructed by someone with a Magic Marker and the pictures depicted appear crude. Would it be possible that "blank" decals be bought and you could just depict what you wanted to? Who knows? Maybe The Shadow. The decal on mine with the King and Ace of Hearts appears to be painted and very good tho not perfect.
Mart - That's interesting about the "Death Cards." I'll try to go further with that. What did I start? Now I can't sleep nites until I find this out.
