Matt:

Did your's have any date code?  The lens markings are different than others I've seen.  Mine are like Mikes above:

     

    

    

    

Both used, but still burned bright.  One had a rusty reflector, so it's been disassembled for resto.

Yes they are date coded just like those, I know they're 1945 but again will have to dig them out and check the actually day and month when I return home. One of mine has burned out and the reflectors are tarnished so I will be separating the back from the glass, How hard is it? I'm very nervous about even attempting this.

Well, the only one I've taken apart had a badly corroded retainer band, and it literally fell apart in my hand while I was trying to cut it off, so I can't say for sure.

They guys on the G who've been doing it don't seem to be having any problems, so I expect it's just a matter of being careful and taking it slow.  I will be doing the other one eventually, but not very soon.

Have a good one in Eire!  Are you going to kiss the Blarney stone, or already done that before?

The  date code is JUN 20 1945 w/ a large 2B.
 
The 45 part of the date code has started to rub off and is not legible anymore but I'm 100% sure it was 1945
