What's the handle bar width of a 1940's post war B6 and were they stamped?

Can someone please tell me the handle bar width, or the widest bar offered, for a 1940's post war Schwinn B6 and were they stamped "schwinn" in the center?

Looking to buy one for a 1946 B6 with an incorrect bar.

I have this bar from another 1946 B6 but I don't know if it's original to the bike. It is 25 1/4" wide and stamped "schwinn 7884-7 -77" in the center.

Thank you for any help

I can tell you that they definitely were not stamped with Schwinn or a part number. 1966 is when Schwinn started stamping their bars with Schwinn and then later with a part number and date code.

That's a start, thank you!
