Bill,
Are requests for 1930-1934 ship dates being accepted yet? I have a Factory Letter from Roy on M&P Target s/n 633616 that was a single unit order shipped to Western Cartridge in East Alton, Illinois on September 19, 1931.
Even though there are no inscriptions, the timeframe corresponds with the successful acquisition of Winchester Repeating Arms and I (want to) believe it was presented to someone instrumental in that endeavor.
I'm hopeful there is correspondence that may provide some insight into the special ordered ivory bead on the Patridge front sight and the lanyard ring that was obviously added to a finished gun.
Thank you,
Russ Lindenlaub
