Steve, I think SN 146995 might be wrong, I think it is mine that I sent you the letter data on with the May 1922 date and I have the serial number as 146955 - I might have sent you the wrong number. Either way both numbers would be from the supposed run of 1000 made in 1922, other than the last 1000 all 1903's were pre-WWI so there was no production after about ~1915~1916~ - his gun would be before then. I find the 22's made before WWI will not have crowned barrels. 146955 lettered as part of the closeout of the 1903's sold to Hibbard, Spenser & Bartlett co. of Chicago, this is also where the closeout of the pistols inventory went. I acquired another one from the last 1000 that's higher - 147287.
