I just found a pin to add to the collection I thought the BA folks may enjoy now if only I can convince the wife to put on a candy striper outfit and wear it lol

It will go nicely with the rest of the stash of the factory pins and badges I have.

Great find Russ, you always come up with some unique stuff.

 

[Abominog]

Great to see all that BA history pulled together

 

[Welder1]

I have to wonder how you have time to find this stuff Russ

 

[steamer]

BA ADDICT!!! LOL!!!! Great piece Russ!

Russ, that has to be a near impossible find! Yes it will go nicely in your collection with the others as well.
I believe things happen and come true sometimes because we want them so badly. Your BA collection is an example of that. You have enough to start writing your book on the BA history, I know several of us would buy one. I’m really going to have to look hard to find you something for your collection that you don’t already have, you getting harder to shop for everyday! Congratulations on your new additions to both your collection and your family. :thumbup:

But then, you have to respect his commitment to his addiction with BA.

 

[toolmanm203]

I am not sick I promise If I really was an addict I think it would be obvious no?

Naw, I think you are very discreet about it. No one could ever tell.

 

[Mr.Maim]

...and here I was expecting some 1919 part stamped with a "BA" mark.

 

[Ready.Fire.Aim]

Interesting find!

You’re just driving more fake demand for this BA crap.

New people. Ignore toolman and the others who keep referencing “BA”
It’s a way for them to take more of your money.
The BA is a proof mark that really means the part was Barely Acceptable. I try to destroy these parts when I get them because of their poor quality.

Oh come on now Rory you are just trying to talk other guys into buying this BA stuff because you are a closet BA guy :lol:

 

[Belt-fed101]

Fantastic Find !!! Do I see a BA history book in future ??? Could be a good retirement project. Thanks for sharing

I’m more armored level. These guns in the field were a bastardly mix of parts so I’m more inclined to leave it that way. I rarely ever look at Mfg stamps. Couldn’t tell you anything that in any of my current guns.
