Inspected field initials

What would be a good set of initials to stamp on the serial data plate's inspected field on the dash? I have seen a few but wanted to get your opinion.
My serial # is MC29199 and I assume, by looking at the serial # data base, that would be a DOD of 8/51. This is also the year on my title.
thanks,
Brett

My understanding is that many of the M38's and M38A1's of that period were inspected by EPM. That is the stamp on my Oct 52 M38A1 and I read a post on G503 where EPM was stamped on the plate from a March 51 M38.

I believe the EPM refers to E P Martz, the Govt inspector at Willys Overland at that time.

Hope that helps...

Tim

mine is 22936, (6-52 ) and the inspector stamp is the crossed cannons to the left of the box and an M blank H (cant read the middle letter) stamped at a 45* angle.

My 10/52 M38A1 has EPM stamped on it.

I stamped it 'MJH' from a picture I saw. That's probably what yours is Ken.
