None of this should be taken as gospel as I am not an expert but here's what I've found
http://www.tartans.scotland.net/tart...an_id=1878.htm
You see the note that this tartan was found in a shop window in 1943 and is reported to be a fashion tartan.
If you read Rocky's note under his swatch on the web site, it talks more about it was commissioned by Lord Lovat for one of the militias in 1855 but dates to 1842.
I've looked through the collection of tartans associated to the Fraser name that the Clan Society here in Georgia has and this particular tartan is in there.
Bottom line as I see it is, Lady Saltoun says there are many Fraser Tartans that have been created over the years, some more common or more easily identifiable as Fraser than others. To me, the Brown field with the blue and green lines forming the concentric squares is commonly associated with Fraser so I feel this is unique enough to be classified as a version Fraser.
It would be great to get enough orders together to have Rocky order a bolt of a special run of the Fraser Hunting with the White line. As it is, that will probably be my first hand sewn wool kilt.
