US WWII "Cal. .30M1" Ammunition Can

[wpheaton]

Hi Friends,

I have several "Cal. .30 M1 ammunition cans with makers like Crown, Reeves, & Canco. I just came across a can this week with a symbol I have not seen and cannot find on the internet anywhere. It is a circle with a vertical line down through it and two lines on each side from top to a point forming a triangle. I tried to get a good picture but it is hard as can is very rusty.

I am not sure this is in the correct forum.

Thanks,

William
