    Wayne,
    Could you post a pic or two or three of the HRA's for educational purposes?
    Thanks
    Jon

    Here's a few pictures of a HRA and an IHC buttplate.

    The one in the top of each picture came off "Mac's" 4.66 HRA and the bottom one in each picture is from a 5.2 IHC Gap Letter - CMP Collector grade.

    Front with doors open:


    Backs with doors open:


    Backs with doors closed:


    The thumb indention on the HRA is different from the IHC. Its shape both front and back look different to me.

    Hope this helps.

    Tony Giacobbe has a lot of parts, from the early 50's, still in the brown paper wrappings. They are from quite a few different sub-contractors. I would not be surprised one bit if buttplates are amongst the sub-contracted out items. Bill Ricca would know for sure. Stu
