Topher,

can you remind me in the new year upon my return from vacation for the pics....as I have to scan them all for you.......leaving for vegas tommorrow...d

All the 1943 issues were Tombac. I think it is harder to find tombacs without die cracks and laminations than it is with them. Most tombacs that I have, have multiple die cracks.
