i found this type 2 big E jacket. i am having trouble dating it. it is missing the label & does not have any number stamped on the back of the buttons. the stitching is yellow & it has the bar tacks on the inside of the pocket flaps. selvedge on the front plackets only. red tab has writing on both sides. no evidence of a care label being removed anywhere. looks like chain stitching on the bottom (??). if anyone has any input that would be greatly appreciated. or if there are any other details i can provide that would make dating this easier. thanks !!

Looks legit to me, hard to get the button backs to look like that if it was a reproduction.
