Wyattingraham, "Bingo" Now that you have found all the correct serial numbers in the places they should be on a factory original gun, be sure to tell Roy this, with good photos, in your request for a factory letter. - And, here's the pucker time factor : Hope the recording clerk at the shipping dep't wasn't asleep at the switch the day it was shipped and properly recorded the gun in the ledger as a Target Model. If he didn't, and it's lumped in with a 200 gun shipment, all recorded as standard guns, then the best Roy can do is to say it's not recorded as a target gun, however based on the factors presented (photos) it's his opinion the gun was originally made as a Target Model. I've had to do this drill several times with 1926 Targets, but you might get lucky and the gun was shipped to someone different than W&K. W&K would return standard models to S&W to have them converted to target guns, at a customer's request. This conversion was done in the service dep't and did not need to have serial numbers stamped on hidden parts, as it was a one gun conversion operation and the parts were not mixed with others for bluing, etc and then reassembled, requiring the serial number to be on the parts so they could get back together on the same gun for final assembly. Be sure and post your letter when it's received. Good Luck, Ed.
