If Emike can wander over into the bullet side of this site, then I'll get all my vaccinations up to date and post over on this side.  I'll watch were I step, don't want to track anything back to the good side........

Nice pictures boys.  Jim I know you are a closeted artillery fan because I have seen the 24pdr sideloader you keep under your desk to play footsie with. 

When crossing over to the dark side, pictures are nice I suppose but nothing beats the real things...

The nearest one is the actual one shown in Chuck Jones' book as post war US.  The top one is British as in the plates.

Here is the label of the lighter colored one which has a Washington Navy Yard mark and an '89 date.  This is the exact one pictured in Jones' fuse book.

Perhaps not then.  However I had both types in  my collection which was sold to Jack Melton.
