It is U.S.M.C. SMAW

There is one shown in the photo on the site. I saw one on ebay or one of the other auction sites a couple of years back, from a guy in the Tucson area. It was missing the fins (like yours), and he had deliberately cropped the photo so that the buyer couldn't see that the fins were missing. He had a minimum of $350.00 on it. It turns out I knew of him, seen him at gun shows in California in the past, and he had screwed me on a deal before. I hope you weren't dealing with the same guy.
 
Thanks for the link.Probably not the same guy,but I overpaid for it.Ask ordnance.He knows Im a sucker for anodized blue.:nerd:
Fin set,fin set,can anyone spare a fin set for my poor poor naked rocket?
 
getting fins are based on the MACH-OH-MY-GOD Ordnance principle of they rarely survive impact in good condition.

Very nice Lou, I've never seen one of those before.
Dave.
