Grail

Just wanted to share some pics of my Grail Red Sub!
I think it dates back to '69 but I'm not positive
Thanks for looking

Nice Mark IV red sub. Likely was produced after '69, or it'd probably be a meters first red.

Very nice......

If you want to know the age, the inside of the caseback (up to c.1973) will be stamped with the quarter and year.

My Mark IV Red for example is stamped IV.70 on the caseback, so 4th quarter 1970.
