Hi, The Birmingham system of proofs is described by Buxton in "The P38 Pistol", Vol. III, page 117. It is extremely complicated. The date code is incorporated in the crossed swords symbol, which is not visible in the pictures this seller has posted. I am posting photos of Birmingham proofs dated 1963 on a 41 42 that i own. Regards
