I picked up a nice 1971 Brill Bros 7823 D (WP) Black label, dynal collar G1 which has the Conmar/Scovill zipper recently and was wondering what year did the USN switch from goatskin to cowhide.
From what I could find on the internet which was not a great deal, it seems that this contract was on the cusp of end of the D series and beginning of the E series and has a lighter brown hide than other G1's that I have.
I have seen photos both 1971 D and E series Brill Bros G1s which look identical plus a 1973 white label Brill Bros looking very similar but couldn't distinguish whether the hide was goat or cow.
Any information would be greatly appreciated
