Thanks Robert, that sure looks original!!! The tab with the two screws at the top convinces me, a perfect match with the factory pic I posted. I confess I'd rather shape 16 or 18 gauge steel than pound oval a one and a half inch piece of round tube.
Another point evident here is the screws holding the reinforcing plates for the pick head. By 1944 these were spot welded on, I assume as a war production economy. Also, 1942 production HUPs used leather straps for the tools whereas by 1944 they were canvas web. Last edited by Bruce Parker (RIP); 05-07-21 at 04:33.
