Yup, I used to have a salt cod boxed gun, #2127, that lettered as shipping in November, 1949.

I let a guy who used to be on this forum a lot talk me out of it back in 2007.

Assembled on what was my 1st wife's birthday, produced on my grandparents wedding anniversary and shipped on the birthday of both of my grandmothers... a triple coincidence!
