Recently acquired this lid, fixed bale that was reissued in the 80's (Liner and cover both dated '83). The heat stamp appears to be 334B, but I can only find 334A which is listed as manganese rim, swivel bale. Anybody able to tell me more?

Is that an american service number with the name? It's just weirdly it is exactly right for a 1970,80,90 British one.

Yep, I noticed that tooby vegetius
My own regt number started 2438 issued in 1975 so aiming off for "windage and elevation"I put that one in the 1971 - 72 period

so are you asking about the heat lift number 334B? well it's a McCord of McCord radiator manufacturing company of Detroit/Michigan made around nov 1942,the 334A swivel would be a Schlueter as McCord Fixed Looped run up to around the late 700's.
No, the 24289269 Charles T Elliott. 242XXXXX numbers were issued to British soldiers in approximately 1972, (or so). Mark yes I'm just after you mine, is 244.
Interesting, how common were M1's among British troops then?
