armysoldierant1944 Posted January 24, 2018 Share #1 Posted January 24, 2018 Hi All, I would your opinion regarding the authenicity of the nameplate pictured. To my knowledge, real nameplates would have a black background with silver/white letters. This one is just a plain plate with the stampings. I noticed the contract date is early 1942. Could this be an early nameplate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinb Posted January 24, 2018 Share #4 Posted January 24, 2018 I have never seen an original BC-721 data plate so I'm not sure about this one. But notice how beat up the screws are compared to the rest of the unit. It looks like the radio has been restored using parts from several units. That might account for the worn look to the data plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinb Posted January 24, 2018 Share #5 Posted January 24, 2018 And the antenna cover is wrong for a BC-721. It should be flat on top and not rounded like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
