It dates to late 1944. Here are some serial numbers from around that time:
43132 micrometer 1944 7/31/44
44035 micrometer 1944 11/2/44
44088 micrometer 1944
44164 micrometer 1944
46676 micrometer 1945 2/17/45
I don’t know what the A means. Is that stamped on the arc or on the certificate. They mostly were making “Mates” then.
