And the full stop between the No23 and the 111, same date, just must have been another mold, the difference could be so thy could tell if there was a problem with the molds.

or by looking at mine, the 3rd "I" is a latter addition, maybe mine was originally 23.II ?? big space between 2nd and 3rd I. ?? who knows ? its Sunday, and I always think too much on a Sunday!! :+)
 
Did you say 'think':tinysmile_grin_t:? Looks good to me for a No 111, especially with the date. Of course they may have had a lot of Mk 11 plugs already stamped up but yours looks the real Mcoy. Great gren.
