AndyD Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 Thanks Rick!! It was cheap, ?12 or $17,did I do ok?Plus it's in mint condition,no mothing/tears etc.The only thing that puzzles me is the lack of maker marks,none at all,is this usual?Kind regards,Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Seller got anything ELSE at 1993 prices? All as normal. Occasionally there is some blurry little ink chop stamp under the part that adjusts belt size, but that's it. This is what it went on (mine from the late 1960s, but pattern introduced in 1954 in "Tsar Green" material with open lapels):Except for the navy, dagger slings went out ? circa 1960.
