Steel frame 39

[cougar015]

Of the 927 steel frame Model 39's, I haven't seen many in the 81XXX serial number range, in fact I've only come across a dozen of them. Here's a list I compiled and feel free to add to it if you can.
81781, 81782, 81783, 81784, 81785, 81786, 81787, 81788
81789, 81790, 81791, 81143

Turns out 81143 is not a steel frame.
