Thx Arjay! Much appreciated. --BB

Good morning and Merry Christmas Eve all. I'm on holiday and away from my copy of SCSW so I'm hoping one of you can help me with a serial number lookup. A family member has just brought me a beautiful M36 sn 378xxxx which I believe would be early to mid-60s due to the flatlatch, diamond grips...

After a long absence due to other pressing matters I'm happy to be back on the forum. Was talking to some folks at a show recently and the subject of Larry ("R.L.") Wilson came up. I'd heard that he'd done some prison time for an ethical infraction, then (after his release) was up on other...
