What is this thing?

Purchased this at the auction last week.
Diameter is approximately 12 1/8 inches.
Length is approximately 30 5/8 inches.
I installed the bolts in the rear to protect the threads.
It has obviously been repainted as you can see some of the "training blue" at the base. I tried to remove the silver with mineral spirits. No joy.

That's getting the ball rolling?
Looks like a full-fledged strike to me!
Thank you, very much!
Now all I have to do is find the fin assembly, but at least I know what to look for.
 
It took me awhile, but I finally finished the M-124.

Not being able to locate a fin assembly, I just built one.

Here it sits in our museum.

Got it on my watch list. It does look a little bit better than mine.

Anyone wanta buy a "home made" fin? :tinysmile_hmm_t:

Thanks for the link.

OK, I could not stand the suspense and just bought it.

Thanks - a bunch!

Now I suppose I will make a table - or something - from the other fins.

It is difficult(?) to tell the difference between what I built and the "real deal" at this distance. Up close - it is much easier.

Thanks to 69charger for locating the correct fin.

Can anyone help with the correct markings? Hopefully, a photo.

Yes, I turned the fin set I made into a table and will most likely use it as a door prize at my upcoming motor vehicle rally in May.
