mmmmmmmmmm...
Well, I have never seen one in blue felt...but this is one I acquired. Though it looks a bit green in the pics, in-person it is blue. It also does not have the extra piece of felt padding at the back.
Normally, I associate blue felt with post-war police...but this is all matching HRE, including the cover, with a date of 1940.
it appears another type of leather strap or loops were attached at one time, as I can see stitch marks (see last 2 photos).
Anyone else see one like this?
TIA
Mike
