Aaron...the records of work done on returned guns are filed by date and the person who had the work done (although I have never actually seen these records). Mr. Jinks has told me finding a record on a gun returned for service or other work is next to impossible (certainly impractical) and I doubt if you will have any luck with that information in a factory letter.

I had a pair of 44 Magnums that were returned in 1976 and engraved and inlaid with gold by Russ Smith (he "signed" each revolver). Each lettered as being shipped as a plain revolver, although Mr. Jinks offered the opinion the guns were returned and engraved and inlaid by Mr. Smith. The records on the return were not found.
