Ok, I sent off pictures, a copy of the original letter S&W sent me, and the whole story of the gun, as i know it, to S&W.
Lets see what they come back with.... it might just be the same letter with the updated description of the gun as a 5 screw.?
I got thinking, Remington may have bought a bunch of these to keep in stock to give to valued employees. They may have bought several in a group?
Or they may have, in December 1957, asked for one from S&W with a low serial number and these grips and hammer as a "special gift" for Ed?
I doubt that S&W will be able to give us any more to the story thou.
I suppose contacting Remington would be a better direction, that is if there is anyone who works there that could answer any questions about it.
