I had a 5.5" Accusport a while back that I have since sold. KRBN-455W 48-097XX but I don't have a ship date on it.

My Bisley Hunter 45 is 88-283XX, shipped in Mar, 2008, test fired and manufactured in Feb, 2008.

Well, can you confirm if the 48 prefix gun is 41 or 45? Model number off the box would help. (From the list above I will guess you have the KRBN-455W model however and yours is 45 Colt (no 45 acp cylinder) :wink: )

The same for the Hunter, is this 41 or 45 and is that a standard Hunter or Bisley? Note those are the only four limited edition hunters that I am aware of unless someone has a 17 Convertible Hunter as I would love to get some idea of what serial numbers would correlate with those.

Thanks!

Both are in .45 LC only.

I have a brace of OM RV's convertibles in both .45 ACP & LC, but you don't want info on them, right?

Thanks! List is updated and no, I hate to think what it would be like to keep track of more then I am trying here already. Some of the numbers are downright confusing (41 Mag data) but only five guns makes it tough to make sense out of.
