Date Stamps
This is not listed by Luddington & Raymond or Proud. Proud seems to list this as D6 (unseen – 31DEC59–1AUG66) and Luddington lists it as a reissue of the Type 7 (59-AUG66). However, the space between S and B, and the position of the date stamp, is different in both cases suggesting a new type.
