Here is a picture of mine with its setback band. Mine is labeled E1 and it's dated 1945

Very nice. I see how it's supposed to operate. I remember the next type and how they worked too. Nice piece.

To my understanding the gray ones were meant for Navy use. Mine is gray and I noticed RCS's example is also gray. I have only seen a green one one time.

I know the later ones were a different animal but I've only ever seen green. US, Canadian or UK. The UK were always a bit of a different color of green.
