AN-J-3 Pattern Leather Flight Jacket, McGregor Sportswear (Doniger), Russet Capeskin, Size 40, WW2/1940s (Lot: 1211)
$ 995 fee: 22.5%Genuine private-purchase leather flight jacket built on the AN-J-3 pattern, dating to the 1940s. Made by David D. Doniger and Company of New York and carrying the label of the firm’s civilian brand, McGregor Sportswear.
The AN-J-3 was a 1943 joint Army and Navy project, intended as a single replacement for the Army A-2 and the Navy M-422A. Because of the wartime leather shortage, the leather version of the official specification was effectively never purchased for service, which makes civilian and private-purchase jackets in this silhouette especially interesting to collectors. Alongside its A-2 military contract, Doniger produced a civilian capeskin line under the McGregor label, and this jacket belongs to that line.
The jacket is cut from russet capeskin, a lighter and softer hide than the goatskin used on military contracts. It shows the characteristic features of the style: the signature pointed Doniger collar with a buttoned throat latch, a Talon zipper with bell-shaped slider, a wind flap behind the zipper, buttoned patch pockets with a pen slot, pleated shoulders for movement, gusseted sleeves, a belted back, and ribbed knit cuffs and waistband. Inside there is a vertical pocket with a snap closure. The original McGregor Sportswear woven label is present.
Condition: an honestly worn piece with a beautiful aged patina across the leather. There is general wear and some surface marking consistent with age. Offered as a genuine vintage jacket in worn, but awesome displayable condition.
Provenance: private collection. The connection to a maker of military A-2 jackets, combined with the quality capeskin, makes this an attractive piece for the collector of vintage aviation clothing.

Mauser rifle bayonet (1934-1945). 1935 – S/155G. [E.u.F Hörster]. Unsharpened blade. Matching numbers. (Lot: 1390)
Auction EndedThe S84/98 bayonet is one of the most recognizable symbols of the German soldier during the Second World War. Representing a further development of the earlier S84/98 model, it was adopted as the standard bayonet for the Mauser Karabiner 98k carbine and was mass-produced by the German arms industry. Due to its widespread use, this bayonet remained in service with the Wehrmacht throughout the Second World War and is today one of the most popular areas of German edged weapons collecting.
The S/155G marking on the present example indicates the manufacturer, the firm E.u.F Hörster of Solingen, one of Germany’s leading edged weapons manufacturers. The production year of 1935 corresponds to the early period of Wehrmacht rearmament, when mass production of the SG 84/98 model bayonets for Mauser K98k rifles commenced.
The E.u.F Hörster company was founded in Solingen in 1850. The firm specialized in the production of edged weapons and bayonets for the German army, supplying products during both the First and Second World Wars.
The blade of this example has never been sharpened, which is of particular value to collectors. Such condition indicates minimal combat use or warehouse storage of the item. The absence of resharpening marks preserves the original blade geometry, which substantially increases the collectible value of the specimen.
Matching serial numbers on the blade and scabbard confirm their original pairing from the time of manufacture. Such examples are encountered considerably less frequently due to combat losses and post-war reassembly, and therefore command higher collectible value.
Original bluing and frog. Very good condition.
