David Cohen asked: If Mashiach were to come between 14 Nisan and 14  
Iyar, would everybody bring the pesach sheini that year?

I assume you mean "bring the Korban Pesach" on Pesach sheni. Please  
correct me if I'm mistaken.

As I recall, there is a machlokess. The question is asked if Pesach  
Sheni is a continuation of Pesach or is it a separate chag unto itself?
The practical application would refer to a boy who became b"m after  
Pesach and before Pesach Sheni and a ger who converted after Pesach  
and before
Pesach Sheni. IF Pesach Sheni is a continuation of Pesach, then the  
b"m and ger would not bring the K.P. on Pesach Sheni since they were  
not mechuyav
on Pesach. IF Pesach Sheni is its own separate chag, then they would  
be mechuyav to bring the K.P.

So with this resolution, it would seem to me that if Mashiach were to  
come between 14 Nissan and 13 Iyar, then everybody would bring the  
K.P. since none of us
brought it (for obvious reasons) on Pesach (14 Nissan).
