That's a screamer!
Serial #s and shipping dates in my database agree with that shipping date.
Although the lowest numbered Improved I frame known is 554509 shipped 12/51, and has round top pre war style Service grips; clearly a late shipper.
Once again proving the anomalies of shipping dates vs. serial numbers order.
