Looks like an RPM but I'm not sure if I identified it correctly. I mostly went by position of the mint mark. Corrections are welcome:D

The #1's are usually the best, but not always. 1943 D/D rpm 1 and 1909 S/S rpm 1 are probably the toughest to get of the bold ones. 1910 S/S rpm 1 is a little tough. 1911 S/S rpm 1 1911 D/D rpm 1 are expensive and rare. 1919 S/S rpm 1 is expensive and very rare. You should go for my TOP 50 rpm's. It is not impossible if you spend a little $. I have all of them except 1945 S/S rpm 5.

Nice picture and great find!
Are you using the QX5?

Thanks Jean, no it's not my QX5 I have issues regulating the amount of glare with the scope so I rarely use it for pics. This is a cheap Kodak Easyshare CX7430, with a 10x loupe (also "cheap") that I afixed a circular piece of cardboard to so I could slip it over the lens for macro shots. Isn't the greatest but works in a pinch.

Sounds like you got it just right Daggit. Looks like it, too!
I have a lot of trouble with the Q even after I taped some white fabric over the bulb, which means the light is going through the fabric and the tape.
I like your 'gray scale' avatar. Cute kitty. Oh, is that the one that thinks it is a pit bull?
