Picked this up today along with a BD blouse and both were sold together to the dealer, though there is no evidence that they belonged to the same soldier,but might have. Nicely maker marked and dated 1944 with 1944 "M" acceptance broad arrow stamp. It has the line of stitching to show where the badge is supposed to be located and has signs from two holes and other signs that it had a badge which has been removed.
