From your pictures I can't read the letter code stamped on it.

That's because on the BM/BKM it is under the left grip.

I had found a site with the BM/BKM letter codes, but that page you referenced is much better. Lots more Star stuff. Thanks!

Here's a pic of my letter code, with proof marks. 1981.

Interestingly, my plumed helmet proof has the "X" in the shield, but my Flaming Bomb proof does not have the "P"...
