Bob,

You are correct and I was mistaken! I got out all the original S&W documents and carefully re-read them. 1,800 units were manufactured in bright blue and contain even serial numbers.

1,200 units were manufactured in bright stainless steel and contain un-even serial numbers. Mine has a serial number of XXX9

Thanks for the head up and I apologize for the bad data!

Thanks,

Doug
