Here's the next in line for projects simply because the pitting on it was minor and I could get it painted and restored with an minimum of time. It is the U.S. 90mm T91 HE round. As soon as the paint cures, I and match it with the proper 90mm casing. Can't remember the T number for it since I don't have my pubs out. I have a M557 in it for now until I can get a M51 series. The rotating bands are made of sintered iron and are the natural color after bead blasting. Turned out fair, but I rushed the painting and then the stamping. Might re-paint it. Cheers, Bruce.

Bacarnal, did you mean a M501A1 fuze? (M500 over stamped M501). I have a 1953 dated one, excellent condition, a real beauty. PM me for information.

Well, I re-stamped her and I'm much more pleased with the outcome. Cheers, Bruce.
