On February 27, Don Moriarty continued working on Cobra King with the goal of uncovering past markings and serial numbers. Here Don has partially uncovered a "3" under the present numbers.

After much chipping and sanding, Don uncovered a post-war serial number that had been applied with a brush using stencils and the remanants of another that was applied with a paint roller. This still is the incorrect serial number for Cobra King which should end in a "4" instead of a "1".

Here is a close-up of the brushed on serial number with the roller-applied partially visible.

The most exciting find, however, is the uncovering of the original Cobra King name on the right side. Because only one side of Cobra King was photographed in Bastogne, there was speculation if the other side was the same.

The Patton Museum staff has installed a new display on Cobra King in the lobby of the museum.

Items found inside Cobra King are displayed along with their intact counterparts as a comparison, such as hatch periscope, gasmask, entrenching tool and ammunition.
