Im currently in working on getting one for my collection.I think it will need a repaint so knowing how wide the yellow band is would help,and if the band is only on the warhead or on the wings too?These M83 are painted Olive Drab with a yellow band around it

Thank you sir.Id also like to know if its easy or even possible to find a fuse and booster cup for the M83?Hi Lou
On both the drouges and the bomb body as for width i cannot find out anything on the size , will see if i have a picture of an M83 that was sold 2 years ago at Beltring

Nice body from post war US made butterfly bomb. Found on military show in Italien
Must say i am quite enjoying this forum guys. Does anybody know what lot number WC is? Something Washington or Wabash...brain is getting old.
Here's the M83 from my collection.
The body is Marked: M83 EGS-1-18
The wings are marked: M83 COC 115
Does anybody know the manufacturers?
Mine is in Original paint and stencilling and there is no yellow band.
Thanks in advance,
Regards, DJH
Nice butterfly DJH. What sort of fuze is in it?
