    Belgium (and luxembourg):

    what type of material is that one made out of? I have some Australian pre 1953 kings crown ones and theyre bevo weave but this seems to be a heavier material?

    Bevo weave = akin to HBT (VV shapes) material?

    This is canvas - the backing piece is also (white) canvas, but a thicker weave.

    Could you post pictures of yours? I didn't know the Australians made a seperate type!
