    Tonight I'll be searching my 40-58 LWCs for RPMs, keeping an eye out for '44-D/S and '46-S/D. Let you know if I find anything! I have like 440 of them to look through.

    440 out of trillions is not very good odds. My guess? Your batting average will be 0 for 440.

    The '50s have a lot of these RPMs. I'm going to say you're going to hit a '53 or '56.

    I have had luck with the 1956-D.
    Sometimes I had to use a 16 power loupe.
