    again re me:
    ""> Then late 54 thru 56 P71 was again a consistent product imo.
    > After that, maybe late 56?, but c1957/58 for sure it gets a lil goofy again. c57/58 is when there are "some" undated P71s and that change was not straight forward either.
    I've seen an undated 58 and a dated AX '58. I've not seen a date stamped AW 1957 reg sz. P71. Has anyone else?
    "" CCS source

    so open question is we're seeking a 1957 example?

    It seems the large or std. sz. P71 1939 - 55, for the most part, have valve at that same 3 o'clock position. I've now seen '56 examples with valve still at 3 oclock but also 2 '56 examples at 12 o'clock:
    It just so happens I've just secured this AV '56 on the cheap.
