41 byf Sub 2?

[ChannelIsles]

My recent full rig byf serial # is 1972, no letter.

The acceptance stamps are both E/655.

I have read this is a subvariation 2 as the serial number is within the 1000 - 9950a range but it lacks the E/135 acceptance stamp. Is this correct?

The black grips are very common here, my four 41 byf's all have this feature although I read only perhaps only 1 in 5 are normally found.

I don't think this one's had much use, the internals still are in the blue with little wear. The hoster's in good order too.

Hope it meets with approval.

Very, very nice byf rig. Just enough wear to be honest and great photos too. What kind of camera did you use?

That is a beautiful 41 byf.
Looking at Jan Stills data, acceptance stamp transition range was (approx):
E/655 E/655. Up to about sn 4627.
Mixed E/655 E/135. Sn 4627-7491.
E/135 E/135. After sn 7491.

Thanks for your opinion Lyn; the camera's a regular Sony Cyber-shot, however, I waited for a crisp bright day & ventured outside - no flash.

Sounds good Tom, would place mine as a fairly late '41 Sub 1, that figures.

Odd the cdg holster's acceptance is upside down?
