Hi Snoman,

Nice original "AS in triangle" zincer.

The lighting on the reverse makes it almost appear like the scoop-backed variant but it's the flat-backed variant as you can tell from the marker mark itself as well as the positioning of the maker mark and catch crimps. Not sure what caused the pock-marked defects in the reverse finish.

Best regards,
---Norm

Appreciate your swift reply.

Agree, period AS second pattern S-boat. I like seeing ones that look worn or at least old. John
