2) I have a civilian Combat Masterpiece Model 15-4, purchased back in 1989, with the serial number: X7XXx, where the "little x" denotes an actual number... Does anyone know what the significance is of three Xs in this serial number? Was this the end of the Model 15 production run? Has anyone else seen a serial number similar to this?
Deeply appreciate any help you can lend, as well as any insights.
Kindest Regards,

Because this is a thread about AF issued Combat Masterpieces and M15s I'll be brief and not digress too much.
The 15-4s were a brief run from about 1977-82 or so.
How you would know it is a 15-4 must be because the model number is stamped on the yoke. Directly above that is where the serial number should be. It should also be on the butt.
I encourage you to take a close look at the number with a magnifying glass and in good light. See if the number is stamped over or if you may be mis-identifying a number.
