We found a small stash of M-1952A / M-52 Flak vests in size small, medium and large. We have one vest in each size. Dates and conditions vary and are outlined below.
Small: The small is 1953 dated and in overall EXC- condition with nice color, no damage and free from any major defect. There is a new set of side laces included in the chest pocket. This is a nice looking flak.
Medium: The medium is 1954 dated and in overall VG condition showing use and some soiling. There is red discoloration around the zipper and on the underside of the closure flap. This is from the zipper itself over time reacting with the nylon. You cannot see the discoloration when the flap is closed. There is a new set of side laces included in the chest pocket.
Large: The Large is 1954 dated and in overall VG condition showing use and some soiling, but less than the medium. There is also some red discoloration around the zipper and on the underside of the closure flap. This is from the zipper itself over time reacting with the nylon. You cannot see the discoloration when the flap is closed. Again it is less than the medium. There is a small hole in the nylon on the back left side where it meets the zipper lace webbing snf there is a new set of side laces installed. The epaulette buttons were missing and we have included two original replacements with the vest - see photo (check the chest pocket). Overall this is a pretty nice vest and larges are extremely tough to find!
