Is this a WWII stretcher.

What does FCDA mean?

Some of the stretchers that I have are the same as this with the stamped steel "feet" and the FCDA. I also have a couple with cast feet. I also have a pre-war with different cast feet and early Canvas.

Were these stamped steel stretchers used in WWII.

That is a cool stretcher. Probably WWII but even early post war and Cold War makes it a pretty neat stretcher.

Thank you Brian.

As for part 2 of my question.

Is cast steel or stamped steel or both a WWII stretcher?
