That's what the guys on the Gibson forum are saying. 'F' = 1940. The '/3' is the 3rd guitar in the batch.
The logo is obviously prewar, but the guitar has some post war features (large f-holes). It appears to be an L50, but has some features not common to an L50. Sometimes all bets are off with vintage Gibson guitars. There were so many transition periods and changes over the years.
Here's the thread I started on the guitar forum if anyone is interested. The membership on this site has an astounding amount of vintage Gibson knowledge.
