Hi there RichSr!

Thanks for the tip and YES!! ...there is a hole directly across from the screw holes in the back strap.

Little by little the clues are falling in place!

Many thanks to all three of you who have responded!

By the way, I notice you are from "West Texas". I was stationed in Big Spring, Texas at Webb AFB from 1966 thru 1969. In spite of the dry weather, dust storms and realizing that even the (oversized) jack rabbits carried roadmaps and canteens - I really enjoyed it out there! The townspeople were the best folks one could ever hope to meet and treated us military guys like family.
