<p>[QUOTE="nesvt, post: 33122, member: 1749"]I thought it was a VAM-25, then I realized your last photo was upside down <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> . Funny, it you look at the photo in the VAM book for the 25, it looks like yours (at 180 degrees rotated). It might be a VAM-14. Most of the VAMs for 1884-O's are the O/O's. Have to identify which one. It could also be a VAM-29, but I don't have a picture of this one. Can you check a couple of other diagnostics?
