That does not apply to the G prefix which = mixed materials - rods.

I do have the dates for most of those except I think for the WWII years.

There is also another group for the years after 1965 - with new materials glass, etc

Unless I’m mistaken from the table 1928 rods have 4 digits - your rod has five (16111) putting it in the 1936 bracket
