Really Sorry to ask, I thouğt I already had but did we get to the bottom of why some Waves have letters after the date codes?

Unless someone can say otherwise it appears that it is peculiar to '03 model Waves and have either 'A' or 'B' added to the end of the date code. It appears to coincide with the end of that model before the 'New Wave' was introduced in 2004. It's been suggested that one handle is the 'A' handle and the other the 'B' handle. However, i have personally seen double 'A's and double 'B's as in both handles have the same letter following the numerical code.

Could it be different production lines? I think both handles are identical without the tools fitted so why would they differentiate them and if they were to be dedicated to a certain tool set, why do we come across models with double letters? Has this been witnessed in other Leatherman models of the time?

 I doubt very much that Leatherman would issue out seconds or 'B-Stock' and why would they add 'A' to regular issues? Like everyone else, i just have to know things!

Ok, an August 02, interesting. Can I ask, is it a polished version or were they just Gen 2? I've just cleaned mine up and it has taken a real good shine very easily, just wondering is the lettering may have something to do with a higher chrome content or something.......
