The below Model 1 1/2 is owned by a friend. We researched it via Supica and Nahas #3. Serial numbers are "supposed" to be 26301 through 127100.
However this one serials as "00032"?? we think. The "3" may be an "8".
And the corrosion/pitting in front of the serial number does not appear to be deep enough to have removed a number, as in a "1".
Also, please look at the barrel markings. Are they correct? The book lists the markings for the "Old Model 1 1/2" but not for the "New Model".
Any ideas? It is being lettered to Mr. Jinks. Thanks.
