It is far more likely someone just wanted to build a 45 Colt shooter before the Factory offered the Mod 25-5 in 45 Colt.
The fakery comes in with whoever did the fake letter. That may or may not be the person who built the gun or had it built. The person inventing the letter is the scoundrel.


And, NO, it is not worth buying a letter for the gun. If you request a letter for a 1955 Target with serial # 55422, Roy will tell you there is NO such animal.
Since you don't know positively what that frame was to begin with, you would need to send many good pics with the letter request. Then, you'll get a letter telling you that you own a parts gun built outside the Factory. We already told you that, so send us $50, and you'll be $50 ahead.
Ok, thanks for the knowledge and advice. That's the reason I posted on here. Just weird how everything on the gun fits and works together so well? Seems like the scoundrel that invented the letter would have had the easiest job of making the fake, right?
