TLS5933 Pillar of the Community United States 1703 Posts	Posted 10/10/2006 11:23 am I just received this one from Bobby & Susan. I have seen a number of VAM-6A's(pitted reverse) and their somewhat common but I have not seen one with the pitting so low on the reverse.Usually its up under the tail feathers.Any thoughts?

It's tough to say what it is from that pic; if you can conclusively determine that it's pitting, you might have something there. The only other pitted 1897 I know of is the 3A, which from the description (I can't find a pic), doesn't resemble yours either. Report this Post to the Staff

Heres another pic,hope this helps.Was the VAM-6A always in the exact same position, under the left side tail feathers? Report this Post to the Staff
