Guys,
Thanks for the great info. and follow-up...especially your time, John D....!!!
I do know that since the early 60's this one was mated up with a P-38...I think that drove the asking price as well.
I will try to take a better photo of the 4-digit number and the LWaA2 stamping later this weekend as time allows...so you guys can peer a little more closely.
Thanks for all of your help...
