I don’t think the peaked or bayonet type is correct.
It’s hard to tell from the various pictures of 36 Commanders, but they all look like the broken one, which also looks like the ones in Bikewhorder Chris’s comparison photo.

should have an "inny" at the center of the drive side, no?
looks nickel too?

Unless the Commanders used a different crank arm than the standard production crank, the 36 I pictured should be it.

Same as the one on Chris' 36.

I'm going to double check my other bikes when I get home. But....didn't you say that may be a pic of your bike when it was first discovered?

Dammit Marty I’m tired of seeing you suffer like this. Just send me what’s left of that Colson and move on
