This cutaway was salvaged from a dumpster at the Chicago Great Lakes Navy Training Facility many years ago according to the man I bought it from.

Most interesting, I would love to have one of those.
Little known was the the Seabeas were equipped with the 1917.
Out of curiousity I pulled up my copy of the SRS.
Going with a serial number starting with a 2 and ending with a 5 or 6, I found a few interesting hits:
23715E 052318ORD DEPT INSP DIV
25736E 032619INSP OF ORDNANCE WRA CO
208896E 051018CAMP HANCOCK (TEST)
Impossible to confirm but fun to speculate.
Thanks for sharing!
Very interesting. Not a surprise as they started as civilians and only were inducted after pressure and necessity.Quote:
