Are you going to comment on why you think it is 1939?

It is really not very important whether it is an o,p,q or none of the above, without more info you can't date the frame.

Well, in my post above I quoted a thread, and there's a link in it to a PDF with a lot of picture examples of the different script letters, and associates years with them. Thats all I've found so far, not much to go by. I'm no expert by any means, just looking for help with what I've found so far and what the actual experts know. I'm not near the gun until later today, but what other markings or info would help narrow it down? I can take some pics of any areas you'd want to see that would help.
