It was previously recorded as green-blue-green (STS). The sindex card created by Davidson c1964 is Black-Royal Blue-Black. The sky blue version was recently confirmed as the correct one by R. E. Trygstad, LCDR USN (Retired), who has in his possession an original scarf with the sky blue colours. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 1.79
