The style identified by Alloy Artifacts as "1926 - 1962" seems to have at least three slightly different markings. Which of them is correct for the WWII era or were all three available at the same time? I don't know, but if anyone has some info or an actual photo that would help us, please post it. Here are three pics which seem to be correct for the 1926 - 1962 style identified in AA....note the markings with relationship to the "G" as this is a "Model G" wrench:
This one has no "G" on the handle:

This one has a BIG "G":]

Are they all "correct" .....I have no idea, but I thought pointing out the slight differences was interesting...
