I believe 47 degrees was standard.
The "D" is for Dual. It's a dual wedge w/ a 50 degree between pitching wedge and sand wedge.
50 Degrees The club that has "W" on the bottom. (Titleist AP1 iron set)
most wilson Pitching wedges have about a 56 degree loft with a medium or 10 degree bounce loft
45 degrees and sand wedge 55 degrees. They sell a gap wedge to bridge the 10 degree gap which is 50 degrees and stamped A on the sole_I am currently looking for one!!
Depending on manufacturer, it would range from 54-56 degrees. The most common would be either 54 or 56 degrees.

It's a pitching wedge so 46-48 degrees.
The "A" wedge is sometimes lumped with the Gap wedge although increasingly more often they are split out for the gap to be defined as 50-54 degrees while the "A" (or approach) wedge is between 46 and 50. These have increased in popularity as manufacturers have decreased the loft of irons for the purposes of range through the 90's as more and more golfers (whether by improved skills, manufacturing techniques or "forgiveness") were able to hit short irons much more consistently.The Nike golf site lists the A wedge as a 50 degree loft and 64.5 degree lie.
The Loft. The approach wedge "A" is lofted between the pitching wedge "P" and the sand wedge "S"
If the iron has an "A" on the sole, it's an "Approach" wedge, otherwise known as the "Gap" wedge. It fills the gap between pitching wedge and sand wedge. It is usually 52 degrees of loft, plus or minus a degree. It's a great asset on the course. I carry one instead of carrying a 4 iron.
