Birmingham 1914 or 1939?

[ChessPlayer]

I wonder if someone could please offer an opinion whether this date mark is 1914 or 1939?

The sponsor's mark indicates to me that the date is more likely to be 1914 but the date letters seem so similar.....

Thank you.

1914 in my opinion. The 1939 P has more of a straight edge on the bottom of the loop. Your letter is more rounded so I think it's a p. These are, I think correct:

1914:


1939:

Thanks Phil. Your images show the difference quite clearly. Other sites do not show the marks in such good detail as you do.
