Gary, I'd love to see a photo of that gun. The serial number means that it would be one of the last postwar transitional HDs, and the 1949-1950 ship date sounds right.
I have a very accurate postwar transitional HD that I haven't recently shown enough love. I need to get mine out to the range as well.
