b_hinch Posted September 24, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 24, 2014 Forgive me for the awful photo. I will post better ones when this Ebay purchase is in hand. Looks to me to be pre WWII, possibly 1920s? Comes with a moth-eaten service cover named to a Col. H.C. Boehm. Any comments/info appreciated.

Brig Posted September 28, 2014 Share #4 Posted September 28, 2014 It's a good one...these were used up through the 50's, so generally hard to pin down an exact era aside from a decade. Looks to be a brown finish? I'm thinking 1930s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
