Looks like a wartime lightweight. Cool!

Any ideas on the year?

Hi Mytecho

The link will take you to a list of Military wartime Huffman serials I've collected.

Assuming that the frame numbers are sequential, and that they are built at a rasonably constant rate (which is a big assumption in wartime). and with the blackout parts on yours, I would guess late 1944/1945.


Best Regards,

Adrian
