Dating HMV 97b, same date system as a 102?

Post by EdgarFB »

Hi all,

I have a 97b I want to be sure of the year on before I move it on. Is it the same B-number system as a 102?

This has B/1 (a B over a number 1) which on a 102 would mean 1937... am I to assume this 97 is also from 1937?

Yes, the numbering system with the date code prefix is exactly the same.
