Default 12 Manitoba Dragoons flocked...

Marway Militaria has some interesting 12 Manitoba Dragoon material on ebay at the moment. There is a flocked title listed. Does anyone have a complete example of the same? http://www.ebay.com/itm/371420666645...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

It is a very interesting title Bill. I have yet to see another.
Do you think it is period piece?
I have seen a lot of flocked pieces come out of the wood work lately.

Hi Ron, That example is the first I have seen. Flocked titles were produced during the war and that piece has the look. They were not authorized as flocked titles were made on felt and the government required melton.
