That is indeed interesting. What little bit I have been able to gather about the 1950 45 Target is that the main difference between it and the 1955 is that the 1955 had a heavier barrel. Are there any other significant differences? Do you think someone was trying to make a 1955 out of a 1950 by adding the TT and TH? Could it explain the matte front sight as opposed to the shiny front sight of the 1955? What date of manufacture is associated with the serial #?
