Picked up this Inland liner today.
Any thoughts on authenticity and value?
Also what type of pot would you put with it?
FB or SB?
Unsure if I can find either with the chinstraps with snaps.

May I ask where you got that?

I got it at a flea market in Lancaster PA, USA.
A mint "unissued" Inland jump liner is a rare (and valuable) thing indeed. It looks a little too new to me. I have to say though that I have never had one of these in hand, but this one looks a little like a Top Pots reproduction. Have a look here.

I hope I'm wrong though!

Would a repro have a faded J&J stamp on it?
Also, the buckles have rust on them. I think my iphone pics make the condition look a little nicer than it is. Although it is in excellent condition.
The honest answer is I don't know! I do hope it is real, perhaps I'm getting a little too cynical. I'm sure somebody with more experience than me will be able to give you the answer. If it is a real one, it's quite a find.

I know what you mean. I am very skeptical myself with this stuff since there are a lot of fakers out there. I only paid $80 figuring even an original WWII liner is worth $60 or so. I do truely believe it is real though based on the dirt and imperfections that you can not see by my photos. Somebody told me that it could be worth up to $2k if authentic. That frankly shocked me.
You know, when I first saw it, I thought Top Pots. Perhaps some more photos of the rust etc. in macro with a better camera would help. Useful shots would be of the buckle, the female snaps and the rivet heads of the A straps.

I will get some better pics tomorrow.
I still dont think Top Pots uses J&J webbing though.
Also in the first pic you can see some of the rust/corrosion.
