      The lot stamp is upside down. Approximately 1–3% of all WWII McCord stamps appear upside down, most commonly in the earlier production ranges, though examples can be found throughout production. I believe this is lot 106E, for sure 1x6.   The loops appear correct, although their attachment to the shell is slightly unusual—possibly due to insufficient amperage, welding time, or both. Lot 106E examples are known to show these characteristics.   The dimples are extremely faint, to the point that they may not be visible from the exterior, though they should still be detectable from the inside. Many shells in the 9x–10x lot range exhibit this feature. A sharper image of the stamp would help, along with photos of the rim interior directly behind the loops to confirm dimples. I’d also like to see the opposite loop from the inside.

      Found some neat little trinkets this last few days. Love the VIETNAM tab. Interesting it has a crude pin back sewn to it. Has anyone see that done, and was it done in country? .45 pouch dated 1918, couldn't find a date on belt.  Excited to find more Red Cross stuff. Thanks for looking,  Ken
