White Gas Cylinder

[JBS]

JBS, great reading however, if I read that right it is referring to black finishes. The first few mentioned may be a lighter color as they don't distinguish between black or other color.

Yes you are correct. I wonder, are there any markings at all on the unfinished cylinder? Can it be a reproduction? Metal surface just not the fine grain finish of an original unit. Almost like a sand cast copy from an original?

EDIT: I just noticed the Proof Punch mark is missing on the bottom of the bayonet lug.
