[Milsurplus] BC-348 M1

No.  That gets an MFP stamp.  Common across all Signal Corps items.  And 
anyway, relatively few BC-348's ever got MFP treatment.  For the most part, 
they never needed it.

The M1 stamp doesn't seem to mean the same thing on all of the equipment 
that I have seen it on, either.  For example, I think that on the SCR-274-N, 
it refers to the two brass ground straps across the dynamotor shock mounts.  
And finally, it must have been a short lived aberation anyway.  As the 
Signal Corps long had another method for indicating modifications made after 
equipment left the factory.  It was called Modification Work Order, or MWO.  I 
suspect that M1 grew out of the AAF's various political attempts to get 
separated from the Army.
