Big Norm, I stand corrected, I should have said like a Bull market.

Ed, Take a look at the straps. Imperial Navy and Artillery were much the same only different hole patterns. The Navy has only two holes for the adjusting stud on one end and a line of holes on the other. The Artillery has a line of 10 or so holes on both sides. It might be an Artillery strap on a Navy rig. It's my opinion Navy straps were black. Leather does have a propensity for severe wear which removes the dyed color and leaves it brown. Jerry Burney
