HI John; Both model #1 and #2 were sold concurrently. Not sure when they stopped the #1 and only made the #2.

Hi John: Yes the estimated production is as you stated. All rf caliber. Highest serial number recorded is 2976 for #1 and 2102 for #2..Rarest are factory blue models (about 2%, where the nickel guns ran about 66%) as most were nickel plated and/or engraved and plated..Anounced sale date of 1st model...

Doc, Thanks for your reply. Fixed her! Went back in and found the cam on the hammer was low and slipping off the bolt. Punched it out just enough to keep the bolt from falling early. Works like new. Thanks again......Jim
