A pair of byf41's

I own duv 42 serial 8903p. Vaughn99 did a nice serial number study on these over on Gunboards. If I recall correctly the conclusion on this was that p and q block were 42 production because of the suffix location below the serial. R block and on we're 1943 as the suffix was on the same line as...
