Posted: March 5th, 2011, 1:52 pmThere didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for marking the military gloves. Some seem to have dates on them (all the ones I have seen are late war), some are marked "US", some "USA", some say "Special Services". I had not thought about marked catcher's gear, but it makes sense that it was made. Thanks to all for the replies.
