    Simple acceptance mark. Sometimes they've been so marked up they need reversing.

    Looking at it in an Australianicon context (as mentioned in the other thread)...there was a 41st Infantry Battalion raised during WWI. 41st Battalion has been used in various incarnations since.

    Plausible, jrhead75. Good thought.

    If you take a look at an enlarged view of the back of the disc, you can see that the acceptance marking is not just a broad arrow, it is actually a one strike stamp of a broad arrow with an 'I' or similar below it.

    Interesting! I don't see any Australianicon marks that I can see. But who knows. It's all a guess at this point!
