DA - Navy Approved

[Stan]

I was just given by my LDS a DA - Navy Approved. The owner knows that I collect, so he passes interesting items my way.

It has a yellow (faded orange) label. What struck me as odd, is that the exhaust side can is shiny chrome when I expected it to be the dull chrome of the rest of the reg. Was this normal, or do you think a repair was done?

I will try to post pictures with S/N later this holiday.

Highly likely it was a replacement. The only regulators I have ever seen with a combination of shiny exhaust side and dull intake side are early Voits which were basicly the same regulator as the USD DA
