So many looked alike. Sorry to ask these questions, but is the photo from before 1955 ?

pnegyesi · July 07, 2026, 08:41:49 AM

yes, from 1953

nicanary · July 07, 2026, 09:40:39 AM

Thank you for all your help. I was convinced the photo was from a well-known magazine with a green cover. It isn't.

So now I either retire from combat, or start guessing. Is it the Appleton Special ?

pnegyesi · July 07, 2026, 10:33:10 AM

from a well-known magazine with a green cover. Keep looking

Not the Appleton special
