No.4 Fazakerly Dated FTR's Help

[Lance]

Well, when one is stuck at home, one surf's the internet. Thus I discovered a not very interesting, but hole in my collection, a 1949 dated Fazakerly FTR. I have been passively looking for a straight and Mk 1/2 or 1/3 1949 dated examples so this fills half the search.

Now Fazakerly produced dated and undated FTR markings and they obviously did straight Mk I and Mk I* FTR's, upgraded to Mk 1/2 and 1/3 FTR and straight Mk 2 FTR's. My question for the group is just for the Mk I and Mk I* Fazakerly dated FTR.

At one point they duplicated the original manufacturing date on the new markings, I have a 1944 dated example, I have also seen 1943 and I assume there are others. I have not seen 1945 or 1946 dated Fazakerly engraved FTR markings, I have only seen No. 5's FTR'd in those years. (There are the stamped marking by the safety by unknown inspection/repair/rebuilds but I am looking for engraved examples like the '47-49.) Any one have one? Does anyone have a Fazakerly 1950+ straight FTR example? Posted on Gunboards too.
