Interesting. I'm considering lettering a '53 Combat Masterpiece that has targets. Mainly to find out where it was shipped to, but it would be good to know if it had been ordered with targets. It was recently acquired through trade, and the previous owner (who had it for 35 years) said that the grips were always on it.
