Every Bank should have a L-2 in it.

I think that's just an effort to make it look more like an ancient Roman inscription. Kind of like calling a business "Ye Olde <somehting> Shoppe" is supposed to make it sound old-timey.

Is that a large bomb casing beside the L-2? Yeeks..imagine displaying something like THAT in a business in today's paranoid environment.

Looks like an M-56 4000lb-er, with a (hopefully inert) nose fuze too! :o
