This is all i could find and it makes sense to me!
The D.W.W. and J.F.P. next to the serial number have nothing to do with the military or the war, because similar initials were on SB beds before and after the war. They were likely the initials of those inspecting and scraping the bed. My 10R delivered to the Puget Sound Navel Yard in 1941 has D.W.W. and F.W.M. on the bed while my 1943 10L has R.G.G. and J.F.P. along with a War Production Board tag. Read the Navy tag as U. S. Navy Property No. (Number)!
Hope this helps!

WOOHOOO!!!:high5:
I was right!
Not very often that happens to me!:biggrin:
Took me a while to find the answer, so it was not prior knowledge!
Good to know that google is still good for some things!
Unfortunately my SB does not have any initials stamped on it...
