Yep. I caught that. And one of the Jinks letters has some spelling errors.
How do we define the first shipped? The Jordan gun was a presentation piece, sent to a police officer outside the normal trade channels. The "first shipped" to the trade had to have been a different gun, and could be defined as"first shipped" in the usual sense.
But 260003 was shipped in the usual bright blue, not engraved for JFK. How did it wind up getting that work done? Looks as if they'd use a gun still at the factory when the decision to make up the engraved gun was made.
