Here we have an attractive looking example of the rarely offered two piece mediterranen summer flight suit.
Both jacket and pants are in good overall condition.
The breast eagle is a nice original EM version, but has been replaced at some point.
Front zipper possibly replaced but IMO a period job. It is an early 'ZIPP' zipper with a larger head mounted on top of the small head, likely because the latter proved too hard to grab with gloves on. It has a small mending at the bottom edge, but still works.
All snaps are by 'PRYM'. One snap is coming loose around the upper edge and some of the snaps are a bit rusty.
The sleeves are lined in blue cotton and have elastic wind stoppers inside the cuffs.
Some of the glass buttons on the sleeves are broken and one is missing. I will supply replacement buttons if the buyer wishes
The pants show wear and a little soiling, but are otherwise in good condition and complete.
All zippers marked 'RAPID' except those at the bottom of the legs which are by 'ZIPP'.
Overall a nice looking and very desirable set.
These are rarely offered on the open market, and usually the jackets alone are priced well above the price of this set.
