Hello all , I have been told by a couple people on here I have a set of GPW bows on my MB. They have a few repairs on them so I don't see any F marks anymore but maybe they can be uncovered if they are there.
I have problems uploading pictures because they are too big but I can email them if anyone that knows WW2 bows can help. Thank you!
P.S. If they are for a GPW and you need a set of bows id be happy to sell or trade them to correct my MB.

Script "F" can be found on inside flatened face of front bow where it is rivited to the stub it pivots on. The attaching brackets that the erected bows slide into have Script "F" on the face just below those rectangular holes.
