I have noted several dozen SV numbers, over the years, that are higher than SV 811832. I recently sold SV812307, 4 in. blue, Magnas and plugged hole, NIB, shipped Feb. 1946. Ed

Now that I look again, I see that. Missed the "nickeled" reference. Plus I have been advised that at least a couple factory nickeled examples of "SV" prefixed guns are documented, so throw out the statement I made in my inital post about that, it's just erroneous.
Ed, I have been able to find information on another early "S" prefixed gun, this one #S8136XX shipped in March 1946 (same time frame as the "SV" prefixed ones). I am in the process of trying to find out if this one also has a plugged swivel hole.
