I realize that I am asking an almost impossible question, but does anyone have an estimate of the numbers of 4-inch and 5-inch models produced?
Thanks,
John

I think somebody recently said 50 4" and maybe 200 5".

But that's just my recollection.

SP, I suspect that there are more 4-inch Targets than 5-inch Targets. Could you be thinking of the Military Model?
John

I have heard approximately fifty with a 5-inch barrel and approximately four hundred with a 4-inch barrel (all are best guesses).

Bill,
Thank you. That sounds reasonable. I realize that this is just an estimate, but that is what I wanted.
John

Check some of the "similar threads" below and you might enjoy some of the discussions on numbers produced.

Jim,
Thanks for the suggestion. It is interesting.
John

I had them reversed. Problem with working from memory.


These would be #51 & #52?

SP,
It looks like you have about 4% of those produced. It is so difficult to find even one. How did you manage to find two?
Great looking guns.
John

And S. P. proly paid $300 for the pair

Emory

Both started as 6.5" guns. One was cut and the other has an original 5" replacement barrel. Paid $1850 for the pair about 6 years ago. Too much but I wanted them.

Is there a known serial number range for the 5in guns?

I know of one that when I first saw it I assumed it was cut
down, and if it was, it was well done.
