I found the same jacket in Phoenix and it looks authentic and could be 57 years old. It was worth the $50 I paid for it. I too am curious if there is any value to it. It could have been made in Korea but at that time we Japan was the big importer. Also Harley was always big on American Made. So, I don't know but I could put it ebay if I wanted to sell it.

 

It's a reproduction jacket made 4-5 years ago (check for part number on it). I have seen them on ebay for $50-100 new.

 

It has a late model tag in it. I don't think HD started using the eagle with the bar and shield until the mid-70's.

 

If i had that jacket and someone would give me money for it I would ask how much and then take the first offer. But that's just me.

 

Yeah, I'd probably take the first offer. I doubt if there will be many takers since it looks like something Richie Cunningham would have worn to a sock-hop.
