Hi all!
After I was told about this interesting American eagle flask i knew I had to acquire one. My friend who is a member here told me that Chris (Baltbottles) was offering one and I had to have it. So when I received it I knew me and my friend had to compare our examples. The standard GI 26 has 8 vertical ribs on the shield which is a dead giveaway to that one. Moving down the list we see that the "A" variant has 9 vertical ribs which in fact are scrunched together on the corner of the shield but it is visible there are 9. The "A" also has a keyed base which is the dead giveaway there. My friend had the A version. Next up is the "B" version.
Now the B had the same exact 9 bar design but has some different features that are minor. For one the stars are sharper. This is my GI26 varient. There are differences on Washingtons nose too I believe and a very very slightly smaller head on the eagle which is barely noticible.
Now the C version is a remake and features odd colors along with tiny stars and a few other things. But again, its not an original but a later remake so we will leave that out for now.
anyways Here are our two together
Reverse
I wish I had a shot of the bases but that slipped my mind...
