love mine!1105** ser #. any date help would be great. got this one from an older friend who i am sad to say, is terminal. wont ever let this one go. its in good, not great shape. a shooter as they would say. 6" bbl. and accurate all day long. this is the gun my little daughter will learn on. i will tell her many stories about Elly as she shoots. a little backround on Elly. 101st. Airborne, enlisted early, 17 years old. a fine jewish boy from Brooklyn NY. dropped in behind enemy lines on D-DAY, and couldn't wait to get some payback from the Nazi party. he will be gone soon, and i will miss him as much as my own Grandfather, if not more. any date help for history sake would be very cool. thanks to a great forum, and a great membership ahead of time.
