American Heritage Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share #48 Posted March 7, 2015 NICK, thanks for adding your piece of the grouping. I note that the HOLEC name marking in your jacket is identical to the name marking in his trousers which I have. USDOG, I would assume so as long as they did a red book for those men's classes. Would be a worthwhile research project for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
