I'm watchin' this TV show. Mob City. LA in 1947.
All the uniformed cops are wearing Sam Brown belts, with the shoulder strap.
All the cops' straps went from their left shoulder to their right hip.
Except the Chief of Police. His went from the right shoulder to the left hip.
Does anyone know (a) if this would be correct (or just TV) and (b) if it IS correct, WHY?
I thought, maybe, he was left-handed, which was why his leather was reversed, but when they show him full-body he has his gun on his right hip.
Number 2. One of the cars has an A sticker on the windshield. The war's over. How long did gas rationing last?
'Course, he could just have never gotten around to removing it. There is a '86 Texas vehicle inspection sticker in the windshield of my truck. Been a while since that truck lived in Texas, and the sticker don't bother me none, so I've never felt the driving need to scrape it off.
