... found all to have solid bands with most having Enfield inspection markings.

uh oh, I just had a horrible thought, if production went over to Faz early in ww2 as I think I read here somewhere, does that mean that efd marked solid bands are chicken lips, hens teeth and rare as?
Another hunt to begin, in the meantime my Faz band will have to do.

Anyone want to trade their uk hinged front band for my hinged front band from canada?
