I got the 1933 NRA. Like usual, thanks to Gene for pointing out the details. I knew the serial for those started at 45,000, but I scanned right over this one is 45,024. Maybe first day of production, who knows? He also pointed out it had the early "Tall" rear sight. Last week I bought a 1923 NRA and it showed up yesterday. When this one shows up I'll have the 3 major variants of the 1919, then I'll post the pics I promised in another post.
As Rory was, I was following that E engraved rifle. It was going over and over in my head, you'll never get another chance. As far as the wife holding a grudge? All I would have to do is get rid of 10-15 chainsaws, and all would be well.
