Thanks for the added information Ron!

I guess I should have made it more clear in my original post that I understand the proof is a DWM one and not a US applied mark.

"Flaming Bomb" is the only name I have seen given to it in my (very limited) reading.

For the sake of clarity is there another term that better describes this proof stamp?

Most do call it the "flaming bomb"; in quotes is good- another collector invention that while inaccurate is ingrained. JMHO.
