    Inherited pocket square, which tartan?

    Among the various things I inherited from my grandfather McQueen was a tartan pocket square. It appears to be made of a lightweight wool, and is a touch darker than my photos make it appear. I am wondering if it is a recognized tartan, or a fashion tartan. By way of additional information that may help in identifying this, granddad passed away in 1987 and had this for several years that I can remember, he was born near Brandon, Manitoba, Canada, and served in the 105th regiment, Saskatoon Fusiliers during WWI. His father was born in Ontario. The lady he married traces her ancestry in part to the Cummings family.

    I am almost thinking it might be an early version of the Mapleleaf, but color variations on the computer monitor can distort one's perceptions.

    Thanks Rocky.

    As I said, it is sometimes hard to compare colors on monitors due to differences in resolutions and color renderings.
