oltoot Report post Posted February 10, 2020 Felt linings were common in late WWII yrs due to sheepskin shortage. Other features look like that, too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phorse Report post Posted February 10, 2020 I would have thought that the symbol would have not have been used in 1940s. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
