affectionately called an, “idiot stripe.” The examples that we have,
exhibit light signs of age and have insignificant signs wear, with no
soil; they have been removed from a uniform and have signs of machine
sewing and remnants of original sewing thread. Somewhat difficult
to find when you need one. Used. Vg. $6.00 |
