				Ken,
 
 
Just going by similar serial numbers, your camera was built in 1945.
 
 
A holder of the 'Book' may give the definitive answer.
 
 
Cheers,

				| According to the book, 347175 was in a block of RB Series D serial numbers assigned 1/30/45.  The next RB Series D block was assigned 7/30/45, so presumably your camera was made in the first half of 1945.  No guarantees, though. |
