In reply to I have also seen the crossed… by Andersok
Well done, Ken! Excellent follow-up research. I missed the '64 Regatta in the line books. By number 03349Y, it appears the ad you reference also matches the Regatta series from the Linebook, or represents a name cross-over point, as it's also referred to as 23-PP in the ad. I wonder if the 23 "PW" (03347Y) became the post-1962 Regatta with changes appearing to be face and band.
Based on models in the Db and ads, it appears the 23 series was pretty much gone after 1959/60, with remaining models (like this one) being renamed and absorbed under other names. This one is the latest I have encountered with documentation as a 23.
