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.

Updated with new found numbers. Waiting on a few factory letters to update the ship date & location on a few.
There are many without this info.
Please LMK if you can add a new "known" number or fill in information that is missing. Anonymously, of course.

Cheers,
Jay

It's all good.

Bought my first "batch" of guns from Liberty Gene. Five Liberty Blackhawks and my 357 Maxi. Also sold me the RSSE I have now. Him & watertender must have been pretty tight, because when I received the Liberty guns, there was a bag of marbles and a note from WT. They both got a kick out...

Updated pic.
On the back of each ad was the month & year of the American Rifleman issue it was in, which of course you can't see when it's hung up.
So I went to the local trophy shop and had them make up a little sign to stick above each framed ad.
