This is the last page in a handwritten diary I have from Evaluators Ltd. dated May-July 1949, the diary lists many serial numbers including 50+ K-38 revolvers received from Carl Hellstrom. A $4000 loan at 5.25% interest from Eugene G. Reising is noted as well. Note that Hank Sloan returned a Combat Masterpiece after putting 15000 rounds through it. It was business then, it's history now.
Regards,
