      Can't go wrong with that one as you can see genuine wear on the front where the silver plating has worn through to bear metal along the high spots and the dark patina of the rear legs of the combat jump star with a little bit of verdigris indicating that this has been paired with the wing for a very long time.

      This was left at the museum a few days ago and I must confess that it immediately let me know that I have never seen a real Bangalore and could not compare this.       So, the donor thought he had a rocket without fins or a military fence post and he had no info on its history, just that it was in his garage. While the top and bottom appear correct to me, and I can clearly see where the fuze was inside, its the actual tube that is weird. It is stenciled in yellow like it should be, but instead of M1A1 etc... it says Shwayder Brothers and then the size/diameter of the tube itself.       Shwayder Brothers were makers of Bangalores so this checks out, but as to what it is seems a bit elusive. Perhaps a display piece, or some type of salesman sample, or just a strange fake, I am not sure. Here are pics of the ends, my pic of the tube didn't turn out but just think, standard tube with Shwayder Brothers in a military style yellow stencil instead of the usual nomenclature.  Thanks for any input or thoughts.    Scott

      Thank you for the help. I tried the black light and also night vision camera, still too hard to make it out.

      This was nagging me as I know I saw it before. Looking more at it, the number is 7704. It is for sure class 1977-04 at Reese afb. Sorry for the confusion!   Randy
