Thank you so much Springer, awesome article.

But it does not mention any of the 300m/1000ft anchors, my quest for the truth is on a 1000ft 1994 Sub gold anchor.

Maybe some other Expert can chime in, please?

It seems there is also another major difference, the one with the flat 3 is longer?

From late 1980s to 2000 or so, they gave out a small-stem anchor with flat 3 (on the "300"), between 2000-2003 or so they gave out a small-stem anchor with round 3, and from 2004 (50th anniversary of the sub) to about 2006, they gave out a long-stem anchor with flat 3 and T-bar at the end of the chain. And no anchor for the last few years of production (2006-2010)

Unquote.

With my sincere apologies to @faimag, would anyone please care to validate/confirm?

Thank you !
