Factory stamped numbers on early R13

Author: jmsa

I have one of the first R13's serial number 49892 which has the rounded trill key guide, the cut out on the lower joint under the crows foot key but does not have the separate posts for the A and G# key. It does have the following factory stamp on the upper joint opposite the first chimney and the same stamp on the lower joint between the posts of the Eb key.

Stamp looks like this.

R
42

Does anyone have any information about either the stamp or the post and cutout configuration. After I finish the restoration I will take it to somebody who will measure the bore which will confirm that it is in fact an R13 or not.
Thanks in advance for any information offered.
