Default 1937 S/42

Jean Marie,

Your S/42 was made in the latter part of 1937, as that was the year of the transition from strawed small parts to blue parts. I have one that is much like it, except it is not all matching parts. I will have to check the serial number when I have time to open the safe, but if my memory serves me correctly, it is 8091a but I do not remember the distortion in the S/42 mark. I will let you know after I get the chance to check mine.
