Cast bodies
Sorry if this was covered somewhere else, but I'm not having any luck getting a definitive answer with a search. Did both Broxton and Navy Approved regs have cast bodies and yokes?

Re: Cast bodies
So, is this likely a Broxton or a later Navy Approved? Cast body, smooth horn, no tabs on the can.

Re: Cast bodies
Most likely either Green Label or early Blue Label. Looks like a cast retaining ring. Could be from a Green Label. Definitely not a Navy Approved.

Re: Cast bodies
Yes, it's also a cast ring. This gives me a better idea of what I have. Thanks!
