Notice the Australian Made WWII A-2 has a military styled label "V505 1943", with "V" being a wartime code standing for Victoria as the place of manufacture, pointing to government involvement. It has a collar stand construction made of possibly cowhide using a khaki twill lining.
Understand these may have been made by Staggs or Lasicas for the USAAF stationed in Australia rather than for the RAAF.
Has anyone pinned down who made them, how many, and for whom?
