Question about U.S. Pineapples

That is a nice one for your VN collection. If you strip it, and there's no blue under then you can always repaint blue, then age it a little and knock the paint of high spots a bit and it will look very nice. What fuze do you have on it?

Steve, Did a small scrape on spoon top this morning and it is an M205A1 with (hard to tell at this point) a 2-64 or 2-54 date. Will try to do detailed snap when I get her stripped....Dano

I just got my first M21. It looks okay a little rough but I like it alot. I noticed that it also has the varnish around the filler hole. Thanks for looking.

Nice example 1953 dated, I think it is an early date.

Nice, good luck Dano. I love doing things like you are doing. It's like an archeological excavation. And when you get it done, and she looks much better than at first, it's a great feeling to bring her back to nice original condition.
