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

    Can't find any help in 'The Broad Arrow' I'm afraid...

    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!
