Does anyone know the size of the W-D letters on british import blankets? Also where were they marked? In corner or in center? Thanks. Jim Hensley

Re: British army blanket markings
Jim,
I have one of the M.W. British blankets and the stamp on mine is located on the lower right hand corner with the bottom of the markings starting about 5 inches from the hem. I'm not home with it right now or I would measure the size but from visual it appears to be the size of my hand total stamp WD and arrow all together. Not much but hope it helps some.[SIZE="5"][COLOR="Blue"]~Phillip McClure~[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Re: British army blanket markings
For what it's worth, the British stamp I made for my blankets was taken from an original British blanket I measured at Don Troiani's.Comment

Re: British army blanket markings
I figured it came from an original, you always do great work Matt. Man I would love to see Don's collection. I'm sure it is amazing. Any new blanket runs on the horizon ?
Thank youKyle W. Sanders
