My 6M from late 1945 has excellent build quality, much better than some I have owned from the 1930s and 1950s. I suspect that the few built during the 42-45 period were done by the top builders and sold to the top players or military. I do notice some differences as mine (satin silver plated) has the guards and posts satin as opposed to the earlier ones with polished ones.
