So I guess this will be the number...…..until another letter with different info pops up.  Regards 18DAI |
I just saw that information show up on the auction board, and started to pour through the pictures I could find on the net. I came up with the same verifiable low/high serial number range you did: RJF3106 and RJF3184.
*UPDATE: New pictures have slightly opened the serial number range to RJF3104 - to RJF3193.*
Production Letters:
RJF3104
RJF3193
RJF3193 Box
Original Order History?
Piecing it together it looks like the RJF pistols may have been produced for New Hampshire Marine Patrol in 1999, but they never took ownership of all the pistols. They sat at S&W for ten years until distributed to Williams Shooter Supply (and possibly others) in 2009.
