Hey los
You wrote "Perhaps the assembly and subsequent shipping of sequential s/n Centennials was breached..? I think an accurate reference will eventually be established as more owners chime in with their handguns in the coming weeks and months.... " which is a true statment! However it is also a wrong statement! Mr. Jinks has stated many times that the factory did not manufacture nor ship guns in ANY serial number sequential order. I have been tracking serial number/ship date data for a couple years now to be used in a research project on Sun Burst boxes. I have four serial numbers of pre 40 and pre 42 models which exemplify Mr Jinks statement;
#3647 - pre 42 - Dec 1957
#3651 - pre 42 - Jun 1954
#3933 - pre 40 - Nov 1954
#5062 - pre 40 - Nov 1954
Thank you Malysh for providing #3651 however it will not be used in my research as I only use numbers from the boxes!


There are a couple of Centennials in this picuture that fit the critera of this thread! ? ! ?
