Real G-1 Bomber?
As the title suggests, I got this G-1 at the thrift store awhile ago, and I've read that these are often faked? I think that this is real, but wanted to verify here. The contract number checks out as well.
Thank you!

Repro
How can you tell?
Tags in the last two pics, vintage ones wont have that
It looks like a well made repro though
I see, I assume it is not some faked chinese copy though?
I know brands like Schott and the Real McCoy's make good repros of them
Yah this looks like a good one you still got a good deal
I did check the contract number and it seems that this (supposedly) is one of the last contracts, around 74ish
But i do agree, most milsurp doesn't have the MiUSA tags or anything
Also abit of a sidenote, on the first picture, there are these white spots near the left side of the jacket, is that mold?
Id need to see a close up
Idk if that's obvious enough
I put bick4 on the outside area and the white spots haven't come back on those areas
I dont think so but im not sure
Doesnt quite look like mold
Yeah I'm just not really sure what else it could be, they don't come out with just friction
And there is no smell other than leather smell to the jacket
Could just be some discoloration, you get some Saphir conditioner with dye in it to recolor it
