Interesting type 1 Flat- Gate

Post by JAYDAWG »

Just got a letter back on T1 Flat-Gate #1915.
Made May 1954, correct timing for the serial #, but shipped January 1963 as an RSS5R, which, according to Dougan's book and RENE would be the correct model designation for a 5 1/2 inch rubber gripped gun made from 1960-1962.
Curious how or why this one sat at the factory for almost 9 years before being shipped.
Kinda cool to me!
Cheers,
JAYDAWG
