The knife falls into 1974 - 1989, never seen that sheath set up. 

There’s a lot of information on the site. You will spend hours of fun. :)

Honorary badges are often given by Police and Fire Chiefs to visiting dignitaries, politicians, major donors, and “friends of the big guy”:     Unlike in the past, these badges usually do not convey any special privileges.

I'm not sure what that is but I'm sure we'll all wait and likely hear nothing of it. I almost posted pics of some AAF officer's shirts, sleeves with double "slots", etc. but then realized it isn't really needed here.  As one of our very knowledgeable moderators already has said, I'm outa here. Best of luck, friend, Dave

We all know what the shirt is, and isn’t.  RKurz doesn’t agree (and probably never will).  That’s fine.   It should be left at that. 

When you have a specific verdict from the VHU CR, will that be enough for you? 

Well, at least you scored a very nice DSC.
