Mine have Signal Corps inspection stamps, and the repair parts
are listed in my ratty, falling apart SIG 5.

One radio was recognized by a WASP vet I contacted years ago.
I need to do that again before these brave ladies are all gone to glory.
Another- a "pride and joy" of mine, has a WASP marking;
that one is still buried in storage.  I will upload some photos
once it surfaces.  The little gremlin is termite damaged, faded and covered
in dirt, and I wouldn't take $1000 for her :-).
