Here's one example of a wartime Armstrong DBE, marked HI-TENSILE in the smallest size (3/8" x 7x16") that I wanted to share. Anyone have any more? What other oddballs are hiding out there? Post em if you got em.

From what I've read on AA, the groove shank (sounds like a good name for a band) was from ~1940 through the early 50s. And, based on the catalogs on twertsy's site it looks like the wrench numbers had changed by 1954. So, maybe your wrench is 1934 or 1944 or mine is 1942 or 1952! My opinion is that yours is 1944 made with wartime restrictions (i.e., make it simple and fast) and mine is from 1942 since it's not chromed.
