Guest Rick Research Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 The cream colored shirt boards often have a maker mark and date pressed into yellow plastic on the underside. The enlisted straps have the molded rubberized letters used from about 1969 on.The officer boards are all fairly recent, unissued, and no way to date beyond probably 1980s.BTW, you forgot to scan sideways, so the bullion braid came out looking like shredded wheat!
