Comments:
1. VAM 1A became VAM 52 with die gouges neck front & right star plus doubled ear. VAM 1A was eliminated.
2. Saw examples of this and a VAM 1C1 side by side - they are different stages of the same die marriage - vampicker

This has to be the Mother of the VAM-52, how Leroy will catalog this is unknown until it's brought to his attention. (rh 06032015)
