I recently purchased a RW 42-1401P A-2. I wanted to know the date of MFG for this one. Also, I was wondering what the depot reissue process was. How and why did they re-dye or tan the jackets, and Does the process cause any long term damage to the hide? I don't have the jacket yet, but in the photos it almost appears to be Goatskin. Is this possible or were they all made from Horse? Any other random info about this contract is also appreciated!
Thanks,
