Got a whole bunch of rounds years ago on the Eastern Seaboard at various militaria and gun shows. Finally have time and wherewithal to do some restorations. This is the first of the T50 series that I can complete since I hit a snag on the T50E2. It is a T50E8 with a conventional base instead of the hemispherical base. I have two and this one has the stampings intact and all I will have to do is clean them up once I am done with the bondo filling phase. The cavity filler is wax and I am melting it out today. I also have a T6E3B1 casing that is in great shape but I will have to re-lacquer it. Here is the work so far. Cheers, Bruce.
