I know that they won't give out history letter, without a payment of $50, now days, so I don't know if, or when I will get an answer. If I do, I'll get back to you. EarlFH

Setting the record straight:
This thread intrigued me, so I lettered my 3954 and found the following:
The sales of the 3954 were disappointing and the model was dropped relatively quickly.
There were several short production runs, the first run was for 440 units (TJA8500-8939) with a few subsequent runs between 1991-1992; however the total production was less than 1000 units.
... so it looks like there were more than 154 produced, but with a grand total of less than 1000 units this is considered a "scarce" pistol, much like the 6690 which had 853 units produced and currently sells for around $700.

3954 For Sale
I have a 3954 for sale. I love this hand gun and have owned it for 20 years. It is 8.5 out of 10 for condition. I don't want to sell it, but I have such small hands and with the double action, It just isn't practicable for me. As you all know how beautiful and well made these guns are, but it just sits in the safe. I will only sell this to someone who knows the value and the beautiful workmanship of these exceptional side arms and who appreciates them.
Thanks
