Is this a Small Bead variety of the '66?

From what I understand, if the 'A' in Regina is pointing directly at a bead, then you have the large bead variety. Your photo just barely snips that detail away.

I am positive it is the "I", not the "A", pointing at a denticle. I have 3 Charlton Standard Catalogue's in front of me. I am just looking for verification I guess,.cuz I've had this in my collection since I was a kid, and just noticed it now.

I hesitated at deciding which one is yours, because it's easier to tell in closer pics. Maybe this picture will help, comparing the alignment of the "I" to a bead on the SB version It's also pretty easy to tell from the size/spacing of the beads. To my eyes, yours looks like a LB.  |

 Pretty hard to tell from the photos,but there doesn't seem to be much space between the beads |

Perhaps I was wrong, but the Charest 2008 catalogue (page 181) depicts the 'A' in REGINA as the determining factor as to whether it is a large or small bead variety. If the 'A' is pointing at a bead, then it is the large bead version. If the 'A' is pointing between the beads, then you have the rare small bead variety.
This is all I know.
