Zach, I got the Armstrong (Wilson) picture from one of your old posts. The other thing, as you mentioned, that sets it apart is the border-line, which makes it look more like an M101 or a later candy issue than a T209. As for my Armstrong (Norfolk) I got it in a trade with a board member a few years ago, not sure where it came from before that.

I'm also inclined to think it's the same guy in both T209 IIs as well: he has the same slant of shoulder and the same sticking-out ears with an angular jaw. It's admittedly hard to tell. Of course, he could have been in Norfolk on day, Wilson the next, but you've got to admit that's a bit strange: first, off, I'd buy it if it were Rocky Mount and Wilson, but those two places aren't just next door. But also, he's wearing two different uniforms: he would have had his Wilson uniform from the last year, why did he bother to wear a Norfolk uniform just when the photo op guy came around?

So, I guess the first question remains: is that an uncatalogued Armstrong? Has anyone else seen the Norfolk variation?
