I'm with Murphydog on this one. Typically I don't care that much if I have a letter or not. They are really nice to have, especially if the gun has high desirability (like your 1076). So yes, go ahead and get it lettered. The three letters I have are for one of the very first Pre Md 39s and for two 3.5 inch Pre Md 27s. The rest of my collection is just going to have to be deprived and not have letters. Now that I'm thinking about it, there is one other gun I might spend the $75 for a letter. It is an un-ired 5 inch, nickel Md 10 marked Detroit Police.
