Yes I do read into that and you are correct !! We always called it "Taxachusetts" amongst other things......When I first moved cross country, my Boston accent was pretty think, and people would ask where I was from. I would say "I was a Republican from Massachusetts. There were only 4 of us and...

I think he will chime in, but he says his gun was actually a First day of manufacturing gun, as according to the book, but was not shipped out till Dec. 31, 1953.......That's why he wanted to see the first day manufacture date on the letter...

Hittman, why did you have to go and say: "71 years ago". Are you trying to make us feel old? Yes, I agree and understand what you are saying but I also agree that it sure would have been nice if both dates were mentioned. Hey, it is what it is and it was made in Dec '53, so it IS special...

I agree, it would have nice to have BOTH dates down, as that what makes that gun special in my opinion, as everything was done in Dec. '53, but again both dates listed would have been sweet!

Please read my post just before yours.

Good luck with that torn bicep !! 🙂👍

I a I agree Wayno, the Roy Clark one is the one I remember very much. Seems like just the other day it used to play on the radio. Great song! 🙂

It looks very nice. You did a good job. I was just curious why you did that ? What happened to the original slide ? Just wondering? It Looks good though. My son loves his, says it's a tack driver. He carries another smaller Sig for every day. I haven't seen either one though as he lives in...

EFL58, I just noticed you are from Mass....I was born and raised there, till I met my wife there in the early 80's. She was from California and was just there a short time, but she didn't like the cold. After we got engaged, she convinced me to move here. Women have a way of doing that. But I...

Well at least you will know where it originally was shipped too anyway........as far as how many guys had it before you, who knows and who cares, as it is Yours Now........Good luck with it.....🙂👍

I think that is a good idea. For only $10, you will get the official word on when that beautiful gun of yours was shipped out of the factory and where it went before it eventually became yours, and the letter even comes with a Gold Seal....🙂👍👍

In this case, No numbers means good numbers so to speak !! Yes, a keeper for sure !! 🙂👍

I'm not the smartest guy in the world by far. Not knowing what a "Luddite" is, proves that......

Well it's sure hard to see by these pictures, but usually the numbers are a bit bigger, & done by an electric type pencil so they are not the neatest looking numbers either. These are hard to see from what I'm looking at. Someone will check in here soon I would think. There would/should be 3...

I agree completely with your first paragraph....as far as the second paragraph, my son loves his P226 with the Navy symbol on it.....Me, I love the good old P225.....Yes they were classics. 🙂👍
