Another rare Fitzmaurice mark with a date, this one extends the overlap of two different configurations. This barrel mark is documented from 1926 to 1939. The 1926 and 1928 marks have small dates stamped inside, but examples from 1931 to 1939 have hand-written dates beneath. A new barrel configuration started in 1940 with a stamped date, but I have only the one dated example so far. Another barrel configuration followed, which I have never found with a date. Meanwhile, the arched text version is documented in 1931, 1933 and 1934, with hand-written dates.
